Amperex Bugle Boy "made in England"?

[Clay]

I just bought some 12AU7 bugle boy tubes yet realized the auction says "made in England". I thought they were made in Holland.

Are these still the good tubes for the Mac pre-amp?

Return them. Bugle Boys were only made in Holland.

Those could be Mullards though, but who knows? Probably fake.

If I'm not mistaken, there are two types of "bugle boy" logos. Both were made in Holland. The logos distinguish when they were produced. I have never read of rebranded Mullards, but who knows.
Be careful of "orange globe" Amperex. You never know where they came from.
