LOL.  get rid of it, safely. 

 

It has MERCURY inside it, and it is best to safely dispose of it.   Inadvertently drop it, knock it off a table or desk, and you DO have a health hazard where you reside.

 

Less than 0.1% of all tubes have mercury in them.  `Own or display................ something else please, like a large transmitting tube !!

 

Do not leave any Mercury Vapor tubes in your home or office !!  For your own personal safety, please say Bye Bye to this well-meant gift .

I have another tube from him that is almost 1 foot long.. Huge.

 

And it has mercury in it too.  Yes.  I'm aware. Thanks.

 

The Reason for posting; he put a MASK on it.  He had one on his face that matched it.  I should have gotten a picture.

Friend had a '58 Bassman with a pair of mercury vapor recs in it.  Those things would light up brighter the more current you pulled through them.  Was a super-fun lightshow on stage, especially when he was doing punchy rhythm stuff.
