Philips 85w daylight tube with Atlas-style endcaps
Here's a bit of an unusual one, found today in a lamp bin completely NOS, although I had to bend the pins back into place. This old Philips not only has an old rating (85w) but also has Atlas-style endcaps. Could this tube have been made in between the transition from crimped caps to Philips' later endcaps I wonder?
