I recently came across some, 12 AX 7, tubes.
But Ive never seen this brand before 
Anyone know anything about them ? It says ,HAMM, on the side of the tube, the other Info is too faded to read, small numbers Etc.

| Just a guess, but they may have been manufactured for the Hammond Organ Co., which would make them around 50 years old. |

Electro-Harmonix made a lot of tubes. If all that's left of some of the markings is "Harm" that could lool a lot like "hamm".

Hammond never made any tubes themselves... like most folks (except RCA) their tubes were made by other companies. If we could see detailed pictures of the tubes we could tell you more about them... you might have some very valuable tubes. Any country of origin marks, or tube base markings, would help.

| Hammond never made tubes, they bought them from reputable makers and labeled them. Most were high quality |
