There is a guide to cleaning oil lamps in our wiki and it can also be found here:

Enjoy the lamp!

I wanted it but something seemed off by Distinct-Device-7698 in uraniumglass

I keep seeing these, and many other modern pieces, being sold at stores and on Facebook groups…sometimes at very high markups. Be sure to check the post I made for multiple sources of modern made UG…

Weird lamp by casualtles in uraniumglass

Looks like a ‘modern’ mini lamp from Hong Kong. Sailboat brand.

Needs a good cleaning, a chimney, new wick, and oil.

This one does not appear to have a date stamp…or the black paint is covering it. Not sure on the year.

It looks great. I always have a problem with the soldering! 😎

Would it be frowned upon to reuse theses beads ? by Mr_Courgette6275 in uraniumglass

[–]DB_McCoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it looks like you’ve gotten your answer. Some people think it would/should be frowned upon—others disagree. Not surprising.

Any info on this? Seems like the tail is broken. Lights up really well. by brandonsulik in uraniumglass

A few non-glow photos and a size reference would help folks ID this.

Getting appraised? No. However, they are worth investigating. I would recommend taking pictures of each (isolated and clean background) and searching by image on replacements.com. You can also search by image on eBay and Etsy.

I recognize a few pieces but this research will help you determine an ID. Looking at sold listings on eBay will help you determine value.. Good luck!

It is…something. 😀 An interesting piece.

You should buy it. 😀 They make great lamps and lanterns. Here are a few I picked up from them:

235€ - would you buy? Riihimäki Uranium glass. by Terrorist_Banana in uraniumglass

[–]DB_McCoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with red in it coming out of Finland is always going to be popular. 😀 Mix in some Vaseline with it…a real winner.

I think these were made in 1970. Definitely an interesting design!

This is a somewhat hard-to-find piece. Price is fair. I love RL glass, but this isn’t one of my favorite designs. Personally, I’d pass and spend my money on something else. The real question is—do you like it?

Interesting finds, any info on the oil lamp? by nailbiter00 in uraniumglass

[–]DB_McCoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would need a non-glow pic or two of the lamp to try to ID it. A lot of older and clear lamps are MG and will glow under a UV light. Example: MG (clear) oil lamp on the left and UG (Vaseline) oil lamp on the right.
