| History: |
Osram is a brand for valves of GEC's Hammersmith factory which produced also all Marconi valves after 1919 (MO-Valves). "70 years of radio tubes and valves", Stokes, page 198: "At the same time GEC was free to market valves separately under the Osram name but for some reason did not initially do so, probably because there was practically no retail market in existance at the time." It seems that the brand Osram was used from the End of 1925 only" - but continuing also after the WW2.
