Thanks for the clarification on that. I was wondering why I couldn't find any codes. They are in otherwise pristine condition (unused).
The light was not good when I made this photo, but anyway.
Here we have from left to right: Philips "Amperex" ECC88 (GA2/◿9G) with D-getter, Telefunken ECC88 (B9207306) and the one decided it's a Siemens ECC88 branded "Hewlett Packard" without any code. All are nice, Telefunken is spectacular. These 3 keep me busy for several days already.

Glad you like them, to my ear these are the best E88CC , nothing come close

I have all of them too. I am just not sure the labels correspond to all the different plants. As an employee of RFT told me when I had visited the former GDR in the late 90s, some work was sub-contracted to them from the Soviet "management" and these tubes shipped (where?) unlabelled. It is often that I wish I was more scholastic and better equipped with both better language skills and a capacity for going deeper into things when I was young (and obviously a tad foolish...). Despite the lack of a clearer historical perspective, these folded plate RFT tubes sound incredible in driver and cathode follower positions. Just lovely...
Lots of people have the ability to label things just like you're talking about but I don't think there's any way to fake the construction or sound of a tube. Usually I prioritize construction, etching and labeling in that order when trying to determine what a tube is. A lot of this is before my time and I have language barriers just like anyone else. That's why I tell people I'm not 100% sure but I try to bring some evidence to support what I say.
I definitely agree with you that the folded plates sound very nice. Much better than Erfut!

This is when the getter rings serve dual purpose as halos ....
Better off buying tubes from the Vatican ...
Incredible knowledge of distinguished collectors, I respect that.
