Green Nixie tubes?

[Paul Parry]

Hi All,

 

Just noticed on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-ITS1A-ITS1-A-Thyratron-Nixie-Tubes-ForClock-NEW-NIB-EXTREME-RARE-Real-Green-/181405813617?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2a3ca10b71

 

Are these real Nixie tubes - albeit laid out in a 7 segment formation?  and what gas is inside to make them glow green?

Never seen these before and curious as to how they work.

 

Cheers,

Paul
