Hello Mike, are these diodes from old tv sets? These things are hard to find nowadays and have almost fully been replaced by smaller ones, which are fully embedded in the high-voltage transformer assembly.
The old ones consist of a quartz or ceramic tube with a number of small silicon diode chips in series and a metal cap at each end of the tube. They were normally capable of blocking 10-50kV and had current capabilities in the forward direction of a few mA at several volts of forward voltage drop.
