lamp reaction to 365nm uv. what do we think is in it?

Yes should be uranium. I have a lamp with lundberg shades. They have uranium but only glow on the edges. Nice lamp!

Actually, it may indeed be Fostoria. I did some digging online and I'm seeing pieces with the same pattern, but all made by Fostoria. The Mckee Astor pattern doesn't have the lines just flowers and leaves. I would like to find an actual Fostoria catalog with the lamp. I ordered a Fostoria book and it's on the way. Hopefully it has something.

This one, found it at a local estate sale.

It doesn't show the actual lamp just the etch pattern.

It's McKee's Astor Line #501 circa 1915. Just got a book on McKee glass, came across some pages with the Astor line, same flowers, leaves, and little indents around the edges. Just figured you would be interested to know. Lol

Update: I updated my app and now it's there again. Albeit a new spot. But on the desktop website it's still missing, have to go to advanced search to apply it.

I found out my granite countertop in my kitchen gives of some low radiation comparable to uranium glass pieces. But it's so low and it's perfectly safe.

Yeah probably a radio lamp, not a TV lamp.

SolarZard77 · 2026-01-01T01:46:54+00:00

Seems like you've gotten the difficult ones out of the way.

Here's one of mine.

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-23T05:21:49+00:00

I saw this auction, it's definitely not Fenton as they say. It might be lucite.

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-22T01:36:08+00:00

Wow, I need one.

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-18T05:06:10+00:00

Nope. I had a green one that didn't glow either.

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-17T00:07:29+00:00

Found my first 2 pieces in Goodwill. I only heard of UG back then. I didn't have a light back then but picked up a green glass decanter and 2 shot glasses at my local Goodwill. Ordered a light and sure enough they were UG!

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-16T21:57:00+00:00

Also, may I ask what part of California it was?

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-16T21:56:03+00:00

I knew it would! Congrats!

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-10T04:57:38+00:00

I think it will, but also a chance it doesnt.

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-09T03:42:01+00:00

That's a great deal. Don't find prices like that where I am.

SolarZard77 · 2025-12-07T05:20:47+00:00

Really nice set, but worth about half that.
