I delved in the stash and found some tubular ceramics from 40s-50s:



My RLC meter reads them as 57pF and 84pF, respectively. I wasn't sure about the voltage rating, so I gave them 500v from a bench power supply as a test. They bear it easily. If I dig deeper, I may find some 1500v micas from that era.
