Almost looks as if it wasn't completed during assembly and that the bulb
needs to in the socket and cemented maby the machine did not fully insert
the bulb when it was manufactured?

Very interesting. Looks like a prototype or even home brew conversion
of a wire ended tube onto a B14 or B12 base. When I saw the RCA box my
immediate reaction was that it was a huge numitron, but of course the
tube itself is unmarked - the box may be unrelated to the tube. But
the structure does look right for that.
That base has 10 pins visible on the side of the circle facing the camera,
so it's more like 20 pins total than 14.
The tube only has 9 segments, but each segment has some fiddly bits on it.
Maybe each segment is terminated to the socket at both ends.
