Philips and Westy 175w Reflector Mercs
eBay find. Oddly the seller sent me a Philips one and a Westy one but both have Lifeguard on the etch and on the sleeve. They came with sleeves but they were a bit crispy with age and got crunched during shipping. 

Unlike my Sylvania 175w reflector merc, the glass on these were frosted before the aluminium reflective coating and the phosphor were applied.

prety neat you got 2 different lamps..mine were both westy and the sleves totally fell apart Neutral Shocked

Thanks! I wonder when was the Westy one made though. My guess is early 80s since the base has black glass.

And yeah, the Westy sleeve fell apart into four pieces but the Philips sleeve made it mostly intact. Neutral

are they both NOS?

I guess they are since they had sleeves and the arctubes are clear. Razz
