853 was a tubeset designed for tig welding, referred to as "Air-Hardened" so
that it strengthens as it is welded.  753 was formulated for low temp
brazing applications. Both 853 and 753 required a builder to be certified
before Reynolds would sell it to them.

This photo (seems to be added since the original post) seems to show a 753
sticker -
