Haven’t seen one. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a stores item procured well after the hey-day of tubes. There are many examples of tubes/valves with CV numbers amateurishly stamped on them. The stamping rarely meets the requirements of K1001 standard. Maybe someone used his kid’s rubber printing set to get the parts through inwards goods? [And I have seen some tricks pulled there – not only in the government. Saw a not-so-smart storeman accept goods after he stood there and watched the sales agent alter the box labels with a marker pen.]

As many of you know a dekatron manufacturer was ETL (Ericsson Telephones Ltd) and this look like someone has labelled a tube TEL in error or perhaps on purpose. The tube also has no two letter date code. Round the back is the CV2271 designation, so another anomaly spotted by Jon Ellis is that this specification is for the GC10B/S tube. Jon and I would be interested if anyone else has seen a "TEL" dekatron or has an explanation for the printing?
