Take a look at this, a picture tube from 1936:

I don't think you want to hold it by the neck like that, no? :eek:

Looks like Steve McVoy got it!

If it was Steve who got it..we'll be getting to read more about it once it gets to him. Hopefully it will make it in one piece. Its hard enough to ship a tube just a state away..no less across sea's. Neat looking tube!

Thanks, Fredrik, for posting the link to it. I never would have found it otherwise.

I've shipped a bunch of prewar tubes (with British sets I've bought in England) with no problem. The key is getting someone to properly pack it.
