I would hope not, but on the larger tube I think that I see a couple of oval getter flashes on the neck, about an inch above the base cap.

How would she even manage to hold on to those tubes like that? They would seem WAY too top heavy to be held vertical from the base end with screen up.

Early "photoshop" job? Or are the tubes actually supported by rods on the backsides of the necks?
