Very old Ekco 80w T12 tube
Found in a lamp bin this morning, was absolutely filthy! Cleaning it up reveals it's virtually NOS besides having very corroded endcaps. Must be early 1960s!

Nice! Every single 80w Ekco tube I've ever found has sadly been dead.

Nice find!... Yep..I would say early 60s. I have a 125w version in Warm White from 1965.
