Default Unknown valves

Hi,
Can anyone help identify what these valves may be. I got them in amongst a box of b4 base triode valves I bid on in a sale. All the markings have worn off. If I can identify them I'd like to use them for something maybe.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike

If pins 2 & 7 are missing on the two in the middle, they're probably ARP12 with the metal coating removed.

Have a look at the Valve Museum picture:

Hi,

Centre spigot size might suggest Mazda octal, and if so with pin 7 missing these could be SP41/61. Height is similar.

Large one to the left in the first picture reminds me of Marconi/Osram KTW61 or KTW63

Cheers
Rich

That's what I was just looking at, looks like it most probably is that.
Was thinking this may be the bigger one.
