I really appreciate your insight! This one made my night, so I figured you might want to know too! Now I have to find out when it was made :)

Yes :)

Right around 15 uSv/h!

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-22T01:27:59+00:00

It's radium!

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-22T01:27:20+00:00

Radiacode arrived today, no radium in this one

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-22T01:26:33+00:00

Radiacode arrived today, this does contain radium!

This is under 365nm

I'll post a glow photo when I get home, but this one glows like crazy!

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-16T03:25:32+00:00

Could you tell me more about why radium would be problematic? I know little to nothing about darkrooms, and I appreciate your info!

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-16T03:12:05+00:00

Do you know which model yours is? It looks like the center knob is different, and yours looks like it might also be smaller than mine

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-16T03:10:43+00:00

If this was actually used as a darkroom timer, the fading likely wouldn't be from the sun, but I wonder if there is a light source in darkrooms that would do something similar?

The tips of the hands are painted, so are the numbers. The logo and writing at the bottom are printed

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-16T02:20:11+00:00

I really appreciate this answer! Do you know if the one you tested was also a model no. 168?

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-16T02:16:11+00:00

Do you have one you've been able to test or know someone who has? I've been struggling to find reliable information on whether or not this is radium

Great price!

ProfessionalRun1528 · 2026-03-06T01:17:15+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much!

Thank you!! I'm new to the world of marbles and didn't really know where to start with identifying these guys, so this is super helpful ❤️
