The 807 is an HF transmitting valve developed from the 6L6G audio valve by RCA in America around 1937. In addition to widespread use at RF the 807 was used extensively for audio both as a modulator and as the output stage of audio amplifiers.
The parameters given are for single ended use. When used in a class AB1 as a push pull pair with 600 Volts on the anode an output power of 65 Watts was normal.This exhibit is from Cossor and has a ceramic base and so was suitable for use in damp environments such as airborne transmitters.
The 807 construction is distinctive wherever it was made with the elliptical screen between the pinch and the lower mica.
The classic envelope is 49 mm in diameter, and excluding the UX5 base pins is 130 mm tall.
References: Data-sheet & 1040. Type 807 was first introduced in 1938. See also 1938 adverts.
