Question on Radio Tubes

[vendo81]

Hi Bob...Thanks for all the information. I can see how the boxes would be nice to collect. Very colorful! I've added scans so you can see some of the boxes I have. Most are sealed so I didn't try to open them. Yes that green one is a Sylvania, and it has a real neat looking side as well with a tube outline on it. I have quite a few of the Silvertone boxes. Most tubes found(about 150+) are the black/red RCA boxes. There are 2 large boxes that I haven't gotten into yet that have some interesting small boxes(they look about the 9 pin size) and some strange rectangular RCA tube boxes.
What is the best way to test the filiment on the WDII's? I haven't done anything as they look delicate. They have been wrapped since 1948 (newspaper date).
When I get a chance I'll make a list and look the tubes up. The only tubes I reconized, and knew were collectable were the early globe type 50, 801, 801A's and 2A3 tubes.
I've added a couple more photos of the boxes and a neat looking philco labeled tube. The Duovac box has a date of 1929.
Again thanks for all the information.
