    The soft music leading into the mushroom cloud lol, interesting dichotomy. Getting myself a little UV light off amazon!

    There is also early clear glass that has Uranium in it. It also lights up green.

    That cake plate was my first ever uranium glass in the wild discovery 😮. I just bought it today. Played fallout after watching the show. Somehow ended up getting into the uranium glass rabbit hole. lol. So I’m happily admitting I’m a rookie. But thank you for all the great helpful information! Very addicting hobby. Scouting my local town garage and estate sales for the summer lol. 😂 what a time to be alive.

    I don't find much of it "in the wild" but found two pieces today. The juicer and a syrup jar $2.00 each. Always have a flashlight with me

    • @justimagine2403
      @justimagine2403 2 роки тому

      Yes, bring your UV flashlight as it is neat to find some "in the wild". though every piece I have seen is rather expensive.

    Thank you for this. Very clear explaination.
    I went on my 1st hunt yesterday & stopped in my local thrift store with uv flashlight in hand & 'viola!' I spotted 2 small uranium glass bowls & the total price wss $5.00!

    Thank you for the easy to digest knowledge on the difference of the 3! I can now say that I just purchased my first "glowing" piece. It is a Vaseline Daisy Button tray! I just ordered a black light to go huntin' at the thrift!

      Manganese glass also flouresces under "black light", you need a 395nm blacklight to identify uranium glass.

    Also blue glass that lights up green. Found one that is the vasaline color and lights up the vasaline color too.

    I boxed up my mom's collection that was passed down from my father's family. I am trying to get rid of it as I don't collect glassware. It needs to go to someone who will enjoy it, I think. I guess I better get a black light first. Lol. Good info on this video.

    This could also be confused with radium... Westclox historical factory from the 1800's is only twelve miles from my house. Check into the "Radium girls". Radium produces the more green tinge and true uranium is more yellow than green, closer to the Vaseline glass in looks without the black light, but hey, I'm no antique specialist, just a history buff that's been trained to handle uranium in all of its forms, even the "cloudy" form. This video just caught my eye for some reason.

      Also radium was normally painted on. The radium girls were clock painters

    Whats the difference between uranium glass & vasoline glass. I have a large collection. But just wondering the difference. Plus I've heard about reproduction pieces. What's the difference?

  • @JerieBerry

    What is the clear glass that glows yellow under a black light? Not yellowish green but yellow?

    • @TwinCitiesAdventures
      @TwinCitiesAdventures  День тому

      The yellow stuff is called Vaseline glass/ because it kind of resembles Vaseline.

  • @twilighthuntress98
    @twilighthuntress98 2 роки тому +1

    I found 2 vases. One clear maybe slightly smokey, and one light purple or Amethyst.. both glow. So follows same rule, maybe Vaseline if more to the yellow vs green?

    • @twilighthuntress98
      @twilighthuntress98 2 роки тому

      Or could it be radium like another person commented 🙄

    I live in Indiana and have never really seen any glass like these colors. Should i look harder or is this a regional thing?

    @totallyunofficial3435 2 роки тому +3

    I have been collecting for a while and I have come up to something I could not figure out. I got a very hot piece but for some reason it will not glow under UV. It has a reddish yellow color to it. I have searched the internet like crazy and still cannot find an answer.

    My questions are: does depression glass ever have uranium in it so that it glows? How do I tell the difference between pieces that glow if they are depression, uranium or vaseline glass?

    Did they have black lights in the 50's? To see them glow like this?

      No, you need to use a black light.

      Harbor freight carries a UV spectrum blacklight for 7 bucks that works great. Its smaller than the one in the video. Runs on 3 AAA batteries and is bright. It fits in the pocket really easy. Its small enough people don't really notice it in your hand so at flea markets. I turn it on and wave it over people don't notice I have it. I grabbed 3 pieces yesterday with it found multi items that weren't marked so they didnt have a clue what it was. They never noticed I scanned them. Couple pieces in jewelry too I have to go back and check out
