Charles;

If the Gold Lion is a true EL84, then you could use it in your Sherwood, but not for long.

El84 can handle about 300 volts on the plates, where as a 7189 can go over 400 volts, while some of the Russian variants (6P14EV) and 7189a can go a little higher yet.

You can sub a 7189 for a 6BQ5/EL84, but not a 6BQ5/el84 for a 7189......At least not for long.
