That's not Getter material in the base, I believe it's residue from the heaters, often seen in high hours tubes.
The Getter in a 21AXP is in the neck as seen in Phil's photo.
On a good day the chances of a 21AXP not having gone to air seems to be about 50/50, one that's been abused and badly stored is even less likely to be good.
