Name for these tubes?

I purchased these from Brent Jesse a while back.
Do these have a nickname, such as, "Chrome Dome", or "Bad Boys", or something else?

Sylvania Chrome Domes!  Yessiree, those are the real deal and one of my favorite versons for the input tubes on my VAC PA-160 Mk III mono amps.

Pray tell what are you going to run them in?  :scratch:

Interesting tubes they look like brand new, certainly not the Tall Boys.
Some early 1950s 6SN7 hollow plate bottom getter were named Bad Boys (not by the factory), others tubes also may refer as chrome top, top getter, silver top by custumers.
