Glass and metal vacuum tube with four metal prongs at the base, housed in its original orange and blue cardboard box. The front of the box reads “Westinghouse Radio Tube – For Better Reception.” The tube itself is labeled “Made in Canada – 34 – Westinghouse Tube 2B.”
This vacuum tube was used in early radio receivers and other electronic devices for signal amplification. It represents a key technology in mid-20th-century communication and consumer electronics before the advent of transistors.
