Your tube caddie is in way better shape than mine. The repairman that owned the one I have was a smoker and frequently rested lit cigarettes on the top of it. Yours is in really good shape. Hope you have a tester as what I found was that most of the tubes in mine were pulls. The pulled tube went back in the box the new tube came in and the box went back in the caddie. When I first saw the contents I thought "dang, there's a mess of nice NOS tubes in here". Didn't turn out to be the case. Vast majority of it was junk. Hope your uncle was more fastidious with his stock than my guy was. I shouldn't complain as it was all give to me free, but let's just say the reality didn't measure up to my expectations.
