I think I remember a guy in the Carolinas that was bringing in Russian tubes
and silk screening the Pride name on them.
I got these in 95' along with a 30L-1 from WA6VVL Dave Ishmael.
I know they were new and I got them from him as replacements....still have
the boxes.
Somewhere....I have seen a list of 'trademarks' that are etched into the
bottle.
This allows the mfgr to be identified.
As I mentioned, these have a 'P' in a circle.

I believe Pride was an early RF Parts house brand that wasnt all that good.
They changed the name and still left the quaility out IMO.
Their current "brand" is Taylor. A sorry end to a great US name.
