Bloody hell can anyone date these?

I've never seen one that's half and half coated?? Surprised

Very nice Al! Simply beautiful! I like how they applied phosphor to the pearl envelopes! Must be very early examples of MBTF?

I can imagine all the old enamelled reflectors, shovels and lanterns burning these beauties in place of 300-500w GLS back in those days!

What else is in this place al is there anymore of these?

Thanks everyone! An L-G member dated the pearl ones as 1950, the white ones as 1955. Sadly there's no more, my friend Blake who was with me when we found these has his share of these now but this was the whole lot. Tom, yes they are early MBT/U's and MBTF/U's.
