OLD Sylvania Black-Enders
These came in that Home-Vue preheater that I pulled out of the trash a while back. The fixture-which you can see in the 'Indoor Fixtures' category-was made in 1977, but these tubes definitely predate that. Someone on YouTube said they're from the 1950s or possibly even late 40s. Shockingly, they both still work and appear to have quite a bit of life left in them!
