68-69 flashers

[Douglas L.]

Was reading the TIM&JG on the subject of flashers, gives a few possibilities but one was a Tung-Sol 552 non-DOT. Looked around on ebay and pretty much all have DOT stamped into the cover. Decided to look through my collection and found this one, is this the non-DOT Tung-Sol 552 that they mention in the TIM&JG?
Thanks, Doug

Doug,
That is a 552 Non DOT. It should also have a date code stamped in small letters/numbers on the side of the can. Look closely as its small and can be faint.
