Vacuum tube collection

This is a part of my collection of old vacuum tubes (electron valves).

I have found this stack in my grandparent's cellar and I have not yet managed to identify all of them. I can also only guess at their age and state. Some look like they haven't been unused yet and at least one (RV2 P800) appears to be from the second world war.

If you can provide any information that is missing below please drop me a mail. Thanks.

RV2 P800 RV2 P800 box

Telefunken RV2 P800, Germany. This is a multifunction pentode that was used in battery-powered devices by the German military during the second world war. After the war it was commonly used in amateur electronics, since it was widely available from old equipment.

The box with date stamp "8 sep 1940" was found by Bas Hermans.
