Picture "0": This is a standard pinch seal electrode with dumet wires. This is an economy model. They are still available today, although not with the metal shell pinched around the wires.

Picture "1": This is a ring seal electrode. Masonlite made them at least through the late 1980's / early 1990's, although this one looks like it may be much older. Masonlite made them with soda glass, not lead glass.

Picture "2": Unfortunately I can't really tell much due to the amount of light reflection from the glass.
