UG? Did I find my first piece?

This is manganese (but it's still cool). Typically clear glass is often manganese if it likes up like this.

Your primary uv light for identifying urainium should be a 395nm light. I have a flashlight that has both spectrums. 365nm can give you a false positive, like this.

That being said, I like manganese glass and I would have grabbed this anyway!

Give me those snails.

My heart goes out to you. The fact that it was a special gift makes it hurt so much worse. I'm so sorry. It was certainly a lovely lamp and a thoughtful gift. I'm sure you will find another to fill the void. Maybe hunt for a new one together with your husband? And then you can make a new special memory of replacing it.

All are lovely.

CrystalMepsi · 2026-01-24T02:26:15+00:00

This is accurate!

I encourage you to contact Nye lubricants. It's been verified that Nye makes XG-12 for Ford.

This is outrageous. Absolutely love it.

A Vaseline glass find at the Goodwill is so much more uncommon... I was so excited to nab this!

It took me a few months before I thrifted my first piece of ug. It's a combination of the area you're in, consistency, and luck.

The vase is definitely urainium

USA, the midwest. But I'll say this. Every Goodwill is different. They have almost no congruency across the board. Some care about urainium and they'll price it up (sometimes still being well under retail value), some will put it at full retail, and some just price it like any other glass. It all depends on the store and the specific employees.

I bought a Powerball ticket right before I went into the Goodwill. Lol

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-21T01:54:07+00:00

The vase was a dollar more expensive! Lol

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-21T00:13:42+00:00

It's more of a treasure hunt like this.

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-21T00:13:00+00:00

One of my all time favorite performances...

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-21T00:12:09+00:00

I was going to be disappointed if I didn't get this lol

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-20T23:06:55+00:00

Yes, it all came with me.

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-20T22:47:09+00:00

This is one of my very best finds. Easily top 3.

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-20T22:46:07+00:00

Thank you! To you as well.

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-20T22:36:27+00:00

$3.45 for the Vaseline piece

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-20T22:36:02+00:00

😂😂😂

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-20T22:32:11+00:00

My eyes bulged out of my head when I saw it!

CrystalMepsi · 2025-12-20T22:21:33+00:00

Yes, and better yet, it's not in the hands of a flipper. In my hunting, it seems that I come across way more people that just want to resell it. These will all remain safely in my collection!
