Some of you may know about postal stamps that have small printing
errors - these are usually very rare and worth a fortune - not sure if
that counts for nixies too! ;)
However, a few days ago i aquired some 1970 0009 from National
Electronics from ebay, they were stated as "misprint". And yes,
NATIONAL ELECTRONICS is printed as *NATIONAL ELECSRONICS.
*I do think this is a real production error, not an made up fake or
so, since the tubes were cheap (not selled extra expensive because the
misprint) and the color and printing looks very authentic to other NL
tubes i own. My best guess is that the used some kind of machine-stamp
that can be set to different positions (like the stamps you can use
for stamping a date today, and rotate the the wheel to get tomorrows
date). The T from Electronics became a S, so i guess the position was
accidentally set to S instead of T...
See attached images for those who are interested.
