Valvo Red Series E88CC vs. white label

Actually,

the 'red series' stamping was applied from the late 1950ies to about 1965/66 for industrial grade valves produced by Philips (Heerlen, Sittard, Valvo Hamburg, OEM) - after that the stamping was changed to white again.

The colour of the stamping is no indicator for the quality ov the Valvos - if there is any at all, then it is the decyphered two line etched batch code near the bottom of the valve.

If the second line beginds with a D, then it is a Valvo Hamburg valve.
More likely it is to begin with a DELTA for Philips Heerlen factory.

Both is fine.
