This is either NOS or very lightly-used. No idea on the age. Sorry for the poor rendition of the etch, but it's VERY lightly etched. There was dirt on the lamp (wiped off the etch area with my thumb after i found it). At first I didn't think there was an etch but I knew right off the bat that it was a Norelco lamp since it had the Sylvania endcaps with the GE raccoon eye style pin insulators. My third Norelco lamp, the other two are F20CWs.
I will, I just hope the pins aren't dented in when I get it. The Sylvania lamp is a loss. The pins won't pull out. I'll test the lamp by wrapping the ballast leads around the lamp pins (I don't have alligator clips) to see if it works. If not, I'm tossing it and even if it does I might toss it after I get the other one since what good is it if I can't use it in a fixture? Lamps for display only are simply a waste of space that could be filled by working lamps right now so it will have to go.
