What I really want is published data that says the tubes are in current 
production.

Whats on the tube or a box is meaningless.

Hi Carl,

What exactly are you interested in? Packaging that
clearly state the production date, tubes that have the dates printed? I
can send you a photo of this to your email if you want?

Let me know, as I have these tubes currently on stock so I can easily shoot 
some photos now.

Vy 73, de Kees.
