Terry- I wouldn't be surprised if they were re-dated. 1985 seemed too recent, as LEDs & VFDs were churned-out like jelly beans at that time. Tons of nixies from 1960's, some from 1970's. Mine tested-out fine, no signs of darkening, no blue dots, etc. Definitely new-in-box, but questionable if they were actually manufactured in 1985.Chuck - The lot of 6 was 100 USD thru buy-it-now. I saw some on auction; I dont see these very often so I got greedy and snagged them for spares. My big clock uses 15 of them, and after almost 4 years I've had 1 failure plus 2 that are showing some signs of wear (1 is darkening, 1 is getting dimmer).

Nice tubes. They're holding up well, though its only been a couple of years. They were used, quite a bit, before i got my hands on them, due to some silvering on the side. Still work very well.

hands on in "warehouse" condition mostly, and Box and Brand them
