The place of manufacture is very important when selecting small signal tubes.
Different brands were often manufactured in each others plants.
Amperex tubes were often made in Mullard plants and vice-versa. So if you are looking for a Mullard sound, you have to make sure it wasn't manufactured in Holland.
Brent Jesse's website (link) is very good for tube information.
Cheers!

Thank you Jonesy for your input.
I knew that page. My regret is that they are mostly written descriptions. Photos work better when they accompany descriptive text, because there are some very subtle differences sometimes.
The information is scattered in several places. Honestly, I haven't bought tubes in years, so I'm getting back the links I used to have, plus books like Tube Lore and magazines like Vacuum Tube Valley. I'm a little rusty.
Greetings
Ah! You have some excellent resources.
Yes, photos are great for illustrating subtle differences.
Happy tubing!
