They could be JAN 12AT7's if they have the green lettering on them. JAN is a military designation.

The lettering's white... and I can make out the GE logo. Is JAN affiliated with GE?Patrick
'JAN' designates Joint Army Navy, so these were, I assume, made OEM for the military by the big tube makers on those juicy contracts. I've seen the JAN label on Sylvania- and RCA-branded tubes, I don't recall seeing it on "GE tubes" though (but from my understanding RCA and GE labeled tubes were often made in the same factory).Noam
