You're exactly right. I dunno where I got fixated on that being a glass enclosed crystal. And the only instance I've seen of a 1000 KHz metal tube crystal is indeed the LM/BC-221. Those crystals show up fairly often at hamfests. And I have seen a glass 1000 KHz crystal, but it was in some sort of test gear other than a BC=221/LM.
The only other metal tube-like crystals I've encountered are in ARC-5/SCR-274N Command Set transmitters (calibration crystals, various freqs). Supposedly, in early models of the ART-13/ATC transmitters, there was a metal-tube crystal in the calibrator module, but it was 200 KHz. I've only seen photos of these. The later ART-13 models had a plastic 200 KHz crystal in an FT-241 holder.
