Uranium glass 2

[nialla42]

I posted last month about figuring out I had a uranium glass bowl after owning it for ~40 years. Since we didn't go anywhere for Christmas, I wasted a good amount of time online. Stumbled on a forum for people who collect uranium glass, and many were sharing pics of recent hauls and Christmas gifts

More uranium glass-very cool! I didn't know about it until recently, and I love that you have some. Good luck with the charity shops.

I've heard about the Radium Girls. shudder

I think it could make going to yard sales interesting. If people are unaware of UG, there could be some nice cheap pieces available.

The Radium Girls story is absolutely horrifying.

It's so cool that the marbles were uranium glass.

My mother is a bit creeped out by the uranium glass. It's been in our house for 40 years, but the Cold War put the fear of anything radioactive into her brain. She knows this is less than you'd get in an x-ray, but still creepy to her.

I'm waiting on a better UV light to come in and I'll share pics. :)
