White ceramic dual-in-line package with gold-plated leads and a prominent gold lid/plate over the die. Clean white ceramic underside. Classic late-1970s high-reliability / prototype look.

Markings visible:

• 130

• 78372A-009

• G7223

• GI-style logo (General Instrument era appearance)

This is not a common production plastic DIP. White ceramic bodies with gold lids and gold leads were used for military, aerospace, engineering samples, and low-volume custom parts in the 1970s. Several similar pieces turned up together in an estate lot, consistent with leftover lab or development stock rather than everyday surplus.

Condition: Unused appearance. Pins are straight and gold-plated. Ceramic body is intact. Gold lid shows normal age and handling marks. No cracks or chips noted on the package.

Collector appeal:

• Gold ceramic 40-pin DIP from the 1970s

• Gold lid + gold leads (typical of that generation of ceramic packages)

• Unusual / undocumented markings — likely prototype, custom, or engineering sample

• Strong visual piece for vintage IC, computer history, or gold-lid collections

Sold as a collectible / display item. Function is not confirmed; treat as unidentified vintage silicon. No datasheet match was found for this exact combination of markings and package.

Ideal for collectors of early ceramic ICs, gold-lid chips, General Instrument-era parts, or unusual DIP packages. Not sold as a guaranteed working electronic
