One application for devices like that would be vacuum tube power amplifiers, to delay the
high voltage power supply until after the heater current has been on for a bit.

I have two SPST time delay 12-volt relays packaged like vacuum tubes
with octal bases, Amperite models 12N010 (ten seconds) and 12C5 (five
seconds).
They're in their original boxes.
I have no idea what devices used them.
It seems a shame to throw them in a recycle bin.
Does anybody want them?
