A lot of the Nipper products re-appeared in the 80s. At the distributor I worked at, we had trays, stuffed Nippers, ceramic Nippers in two sizes, and the salt and pepper shakers.

RCA re-initiated Nipper when they brought ProScan to the market - it was the future, and RCA marketed RCA as the "old standard".

We gave them away - buy 6 triplers, or a sleeve of 6JE6C's and you got the tray. Buy $100 or more and get your choice, stuffed or ceramic Nipper...

We also got the Nipper pocket protectors, but no one wanted one, so the boss popped for the plain RCA pocket protectors. I know of one that is still in use today...not mine....
