Default Re: Faulty valves - Scrap or keep?

Interesting thread. I am actually doing a big sort out of valves acquired over the years.
Some are definitely NOS (unless somebody has gone to the extent of preparing a factory level tissue paper wrap and tuck job) but many are an unknown and will lie in wait until I actually need to find out if they are good or not. Known duff are mainly 're-atmosphered' and the internal workings studied. Sometimes just get put in the glass/metal household waste bin (it's all eminently recyclable). But never packed away back into the carton to disappoint somebody in another half-century's time.

Which got me thinking... Has anybody ever come across valve boxes where the engineer had helpfully filled out the printed table "Customer..... Model..... Date removed...."., etc ?

Did you, as a service guy, actually fill out that table ??
