Hi Ry...  

Glassmikes are pretty much rated for DC circuits, ( not Tesla coil tank 
circuits)   I also have a boxx full of them under the table gathering 
dust ( about 15 if I remember correctly )

I had one blow up in a small coil setup and took a good look at it after 
it died ....  seems like the dieletric is either mylar or similar 
properties...   it definately isnt PP or PE ....

best bet   either hold on to them for a DC project or sell them on Ebay 
....  

another cap that is sold on Ebay that a lot of people bought for T 
coiling was a black military surplus unit that is about 4" long X 1.25" 
dia with a 10-24 thread one end and a 1/4 - 20 thread on the other end 
....   these are not AC rated  either .....
