I am ashamed to admit I don't know where I have that piece. In the Hot 5s or 7s, I suppose.
I thought he said put a $20 piece in his pocket, to show he died standing pat? He didn't ask for a tube which would have been current production at that time.
I'll try YouTube

I have a reissue, not sure which one - great music and sound.
In 1928, when Louis first made the song famous, those tubes would have been 17 years in the future.I went down to St.James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long, white table
So cold, so sweet, so fairLet her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
But she'll never find a sweet man like me (bragging)When I die bury me in shoes,
I want a Boxback coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys will know that I died standin' patBy 1959, when the linked version of the song was recorded, they would have already been NOS.
The 6sn7w (metal base, tall black base and short black base) were only made during WW2.

I want to talk to you Tre'. You get it. I want a current production matched quad of 6SN7s. Aways preferred short black base Sylvania Ws. They just sing. Like a late 50's Amperex Holland that never existed.
I need a matched quad due to my image inspecific otherwise amps and in spite of owning a dozen Sylvania Ws, a matched quad just doesn't exist there.
And yes, this is the lower case Joe of joe's tube lore. Any current production matched quad alternative in the universe?
peace, your mileage may vary, etc...

Current production 6SN7s that I have tried, such as Tung Sol and standard Russian product along with regular Chinese product are tolerable at best. Not always terrible but nothing like or approaching the sound quality of even ordinary Sylvania 6SN7s from (circa) the 50s and not remotely close to the 6SN7W metal base tubes. In my mind the black based Ws are also very, very good.
There are other tube types where this applies but I have found the current production Gold Lion KT-88s (Russian) are indeed excellent as Mike Samra has pointed out. I am very happy with the lot I got from Jim.
Would that be new in the box, or used?
My used inventory is limited.
(just kiddin')

I gather you see the point, Byrd.
