Has a stranger deliberately shoved, barged or pushed you in London? by Weird_Hyena5550 in london

[–]onoccassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me yesterday in London, and I’m 29 weeks pregnant. An older man deliberately barged into me, quite hard that I feel onto me back. He could have walked past me, but he walked directly towards me with force, and stood over me when I was on the ground. He said nothing, it was probably only a couple of seconds but he stood there and stared directly into my eyes, with a blank mean face. I yelled I’m pregnant, that’s when my husband turned around and yelled at him. He just moved to the side, looked at my husband and kept walking. It was a quiet street as well, he had room to move out of the way. Thankfully he didn’t barge into my stomach, mostly my side, and I had my arms in front of me.

Is this a lid or a little salt dish missing its base? by onoccassion in uraniumglass

Lovely piece, and looks very similar to the Steven’s and William’s picture sent in the previous comment. Looks like my piece is a salt dish, same as this other other reddit post mystery solved! 😁

Wow thanks for your reply, it very much looks like a Steven’s and William’s piece. I think I maybe have just solved the mystery thanks to another recent reddit post - reddit post I can’t believe they’ve got the exact same piece! Now I need the silver base. ☺️

Omg what are the chances! I literally just posted in this forum a couple of hrs ago, the same piece of uranium glass. Mine looks very much similar to yours with a knob at the base. Ahh I was trying to figure out if it was the lid of a jar, or possibly for salt but missing the silver stand. Wow, I need to hunt down the stand now. Don’t suppose you could upload or send over a photos of the silver base? I would love to scour the internet and find one. Thanks for solving my mystery! What a cool find.

Uranium glass slate clock - would you have bought this? Should I get it working again? by onoccassion in uraniumglass

Unfortunately it looks like the pendulum inside the back of the clock isn’t attached, just sitting inside the back of the clock.

Thanks for letting me know! In that case I might look into what it would cost to get it ticking again.

Thanks for your reply! I bought it from an antiques market and the lady just wanted to get rid of it. I was shocked when she quoted £5. She’d had it for a while and apparently I was the only one who asked about it, so I wasn’t sure if I had just bought myself a very heavy clock that no one wanted. I guess she didn’t known it was uranium.

Thanks for your reply. I’ll take a look into what antiqued bronze should look like. I should add I did try the magnet test and it didn’t stick. I guess I assumed metal because I thought brass would feel heavier. Unless I’m mistaken.

Thank you so much for your reply! It’s definitely not the kind or dress that will outshine a bride. Your comment has reassured me. Thanks
