The Baldwin labelled valves often carry an EIA code which indicates the original manufacturer. Sylvania had several EIA codes, but for OEM relabels the code used was usually 722. Check www.wy9.co.uk for more EIA codes.

Sylvania's most common EIA code was 312 - even for OEM use.

Raytheon was also a common "Baldwin"-labeled OEM tube, with EIA code of 280 (or P280).

Post photos if you still have any ambiguity.
