Nice collection! I have relatively few French tubes compared with the others, they were just harder to find.
The nickel (chrome) plated Mazda 12AX7's I found are these 1958 military types:
6SN7 from Australia that were selected for radar installations. They are pretty amazing sounding in my amps.
I do not have so many tubes as mr. Oldvinyl or mr. Adrian Cheng but I also have a few. I have some EL51 stored for a future speaker amp.
Here is a quad of Herleen made brown base:
Here is a quad of K-code black base (which some claim are british made, I am unsure because for me sound like Valvo):
These are stored for a future speaker amp, I think EL51 is a very nice tube for such an amp. In the meantime, EL50 for the heapdone amp I use.

Here a buch of tubes from my drawer, what I am currently using, some in their adapters towards 6v6:
Telefunken EL156, Philips Eindhoven 4689, Tesla 4654. All are exceptional in specific areas. The Philips 4654 metal base Eindhoven is on the amp. My focus is in general towards the Philips red series, but I use also several others I consider of value.

Mr Miniwatt has some nice Miniwatts!
I admire the tubes, regardless of the quantity.
If you think I am crazy with tubes ... it is my vinyl that is the real collection.
1960s Amperex PCC88 or 7DJ8 (6DJ8 - ish with 7 volt heater).
Quite the glance! Thank you. That certainly is a visual feast and shows the various ways the different manufacturers designed and produced the ECC81.
I have actually never had any tube gear using an ECC81, so I never purchased any.
Amperex USN CEP 7308, the US made mil-spec equivalent of their PQ tubes. These are 1962 and made in New York.
I've just started getting ECC81 tubes a few months ago so I don't have many yet. I do have some great ideas for a few more I want to get though.
Is that Dario ECC81 made by Fotos Grammont Malakoff?
Is there much difference between the Mullard with the long arm support square getter and the long arm support circle getter?
Again to many beautiful tubes, so I have to restore the equilibrium in the universe with the Cossor EF50:
Another interesting one is the Mullard EF55:
And a nice article about EF50 - The tube that helped to win the war.
PS. Those codes on the base point me to the conclusion that both were made by Mullard.
