Anyone else have any not-so-common of off-brand tubes?

SHIELD was a brand name used by Olson Electronics from Akron, Ohio. They sold surplus and some new items that had their brand name. Obviously, the tubes labeled "SHIELD" were not made by them. They were re-branded and could have been from Japan or the US.
