Premium 12AX7 tubes (Telefunken, Amperex Bugle Boy, Brimar, Psvane Treasure, GE 5751)

A while back I had sold the amp these tubes were purchased for. They all have 90% life remaining on them or better except for the Amperex BB about 75 % and Brimar which may have about 50% left. I purchased all NOS and I will provide any info that I can.

Telefunken (The Fisher label) purchased NOS I used for about 50 hrs personally
Asking $90 for pair

Amperex Bugle Boy (Bugle Boy symbol on both & Clef symbol on one tube)
Asking $75 for pair

Brimar BVA ( label fading on one tube / have worn original boxes)
$50

Psvane Treasure Brand new used 10 hrs max
$60

GE 5751 green label mostly legible.
$45

Pictures will be made available soon. I will be posting them for sale on other sites but Polkies have preference if interested

    So what's left here? I'm interested in the Amperex tubes. Can you read any codes on the tubes? What shape getter's do they have?

    No biggie - that was a good price if they were long plates, which I think they were. Hard to tell by the photo's. I have ab orphan so I was looking for a mate.
