I came across a box of Westinghouse Lifeguard Mercury Lamps - 175 Watt - H39KC DLX WHT.
They are NOS (New Old Stock) - Bulbs were found in a storeroom and appear to have been there for years!
They were manufactured in April of 1976.
The inner Arc Tube looks fine (to me) and shows no discoloration.

I can accept Venmo or Paypal (prefer Venmo as there are no fees).
Note: I don't have any way of testing these as I don't have a fixture that I could test them in.
Also, these were in a storage shed and the cardboard, due to age, is not in the best shape - if you are interested in these for their packaging, the collar cardboard wrappers around the neck (
) are brittle.
For those international buyers...I know that some of you have lighting friends here in the States that you have coordinated with in the past - please work with them if you would like to make a purchase. I'm not familiar with the postal regulations of shipping internationally but I'll work with anyone who wants to work with me!
