They work like many gas tubes, they're insulating until the breakover voltage 
is reached, then they ionize and conduct, which limits the voltage.  They're 
used to protect electronics from voltage spikes.  Most of the ones these days 
are boring ceramic ones, instead of the cute little glass ones like that.

The only vendor I've found that lists the glass ones these days is Okaya, but 
I'm not having a lot of luck actually buying any.

I love purple. How is a voltage clipper tube used?

Purple is cool.  I have one from an old dishwasher that has a florescent
coating and it lights green!

That's adorable!

It reminds me of some little voltage clipper tubes I bought from a surplus 
outfit, and found they look just like little neons, but they light up purple.
