Have you guys seen these tubes? They are black top coated and came out of an old Gibson amp. All the ones I've come across were out of these amps.
Discovery,Falcon ect... Just wondering if that's what they came stock with.

Sounds like a re-brand. Might be UK or somewhere else. Companies, department stores, etc. etc. would put their own brand on tubes. Lafayette Radio, Silvertone, Rogers, etc. A picture really helps for tube ID, in general (since there was a lot of re-branding, fakes, etc.) I'm not real familiar with some types/versions though.
