It could be that the one person who finally got it was jsut hired to 
do the bidding. It looks suspicious to me, because I think it is not

All bidders seem to be ok, bidding on collectibles. The winner is probably
from Germany - bidding in german categories. The only suspicious thing here
is that two high bids uses the same pattern, $X.150, but that could be just
a strategy known among experienced ebay users..

Hello,
sorry for reviving this old topic, I found it by accident when looking for 
informations about one nixie.
I think it might help you, in attachment is photo of lab sample nixie from

Unfortunately, I don't have any more information about it, it is old photo

 Hi folks, 

 as some of you may know, besides Nixie tube collecting I am also 
 interested in the history. I am writing an article, and every now and 
 then I stumble upon something that makes me believe that I will most 
 likely never finish it ;-) 

 Here is the confirmed US Nixie tube history: National Union was the 
 first to sell a readout tube product line (1954), although Northrop 
 aircraft filed promising patents as early as Nov 1950; however, these 
 tubes were never manufactured by Northrop (not a single one of these 
 tubes has been found as of today). National Union was closely followed 
 by Burroughs in 1955 who then offered their Nixie tube. But National 
 Union beat Burroughs by the nose. 

 Anyway, I was doing some casual research for patents filed by Ericsson, 
 and found patent GB739041, file is attached. The funny thing is, this 
 baby was filed May 9, 1950, predating the first Northrop patent 
 (US2618697) by more than half a year. The word improvements in the 
 patent title suggests that this patent bases on other concepts already 
 around at the time, but I cannot find out which patents it refers to. 
 Any ideas? 

 The most interesting thing is that Ericsson was probably the first 
 company that commercialised the idea of a Nixie tube (and thus thought 
 it worth to be patent-protected, that is the logic here). 

 I feel that the European history of the Nixie tube needs further 
 research. Has anyone been able to piece together the European side of 
 the story? 

 To be honest, I don't know if this patent is an entirely new discovery, 
 but I could not find it on Randall's page:

 then I stumble upon something that makes me believe that I will most 
 likely never finish it ;-) 

 Here is the confirmed US Nixie tube history: National Union was the 
 first to sell a readout tube product line (1954), although Northrop 
 aircraft filed promising patents as early as Nov 1950; however, these 
 tubes were never manufactured by Northrop (not a single one of these 
 tubes has been found as of today). National Union was closely followed 
 by Burroughs in 1955 who then offered their Nixie tube. But National 
 Union beat Burroughs by the nose. 

 Anyway, I was doing some casual research for patents filed by Ericsson, 
 and found patent GB739041, file is attached. The funny thing is, this 
 baby was filed May 9, 1950, predating the first Northrop patent 
 (US2618697) by more than half a year. The word improvements in the 
 patent title suggests that this patent bases on other concepts already 
 around at the time, but I cannot find out which patents it refers to. 
 Any ideas? 

 The most interesting thing is that Ericsson was probably the first 
 company that commercialised the idea of a Nixie tube (and thus thought 
 it worth to be patent-protected, that is the logic here). 

 I feel that the European history of the Nixie tube needs further 
 research. Has anyone been able to piece together the European side of 
 the story? 

 To be honest, I don't know if this patent is an entirely new discovery, 
 but I could not find it on Randall's page:

Hello, i have been wondering if you own any other interesting/unusual tubes 
that arent listed on your site?

  Hello,
  sorry for reviving this old topic, I found it by accident when looking 
 for informations about one nixie.
 I think it might help you, in attachment is photo of lab sample nixie from 
 Ericsson.
 Unfortunately, I don't have any more information about it, it is old photo 
 which i download from ebay...
