This looks interesting. Anyone have any guesses what it is?

Unfortunately the lowest frequency I could get was 22kHz. I have another that is 52kHz.

It seems like each crystal was individually tested. They come with a form having hand-written specifications written on it.

I have one somewhere that resonates at 100kHz. I compared it to Droitwich and could slip a cycle in more than 10sec.

I got these to play with them after I saw a report on the Q of a heap of crystals. Of the huge set of crystals tested, the ones in glass bottles had the highest Q (by a large margin).

And these are really large crystals!

I'd like to make a low frequency ovenised oscillator just for the fun of it. It would be interesting to have the active element be a valve too :)
