Thanks Dave! :)

The westy is fully coated (so 1978) and I think all the GEs are "R" lamps, so probably '84, '87, and '81 for those?

BTW Dave, I got two more. Both 1000W lamps:

GE Bonusline /C. No date code on the etch but there's an "82" inkstamped on the neck of the lamp. Unfortunately the lamp is well used but I have a feeling it might be really old. Pre-'66 at least.

The other is an NOS Westy /DX with a "3" on top of an "O"
