I'm sure they're working fine. That's why I also bought used ones.But when I pay for NOS, I would also like to receive NOS.

I'm wondering what that mirroring people are talking about looks like? There is definitely some reflecting deposit on the glass on the lower part of the tube (see the last pictures I posted).
Yes, I thought it was strange that the mirroring was only underneath and not near the numerals, where the sputtering would usually deposit.
This seems to be specific to this model of nixie though or are there others?

Nixies are not vacuum tubes - they shouldn't have a getter.

I don't think it would be counter-productive, see e.g. the XN-1. Neon and argon are noble gases and hence they almost don't interact with getter material, as far as I know
To my knowledge getter is only working to oxidizing gasses as oxygen fluor and chlorine and other oxidizing gases. Anyhow the oxidizing properties are essential.
All metals are typical reducing elements.

OK... so why a getter in this one? All the little NEON tubes are each already sealed.

I don't think they're sealed. I think their tips are open to the main enclosing envelope.

Hello everyone,I've recently started to seriously collect nixies.As they become less available (and more expensive), the chances to get used tubes sold as NOS increase.I've bought some "NOS" 122P224 off eBay and I'm pretty sure they're actually used, because of the "silvering" on the side and below (see photos).There are probably already a lot of posts on here explaining how to identify used nixies (visually and by measuring).I've searched but without much success. Could someone please point me in the right direction? I don't want to falsely accuse the eBay seller...Thanks.Alic
