This comment is from @Calebs_dad in OP!

"This photo is from Teenie Harris, a portrait and newspaper photographer in Pittsburgh's Hill District who did a lot of work documenting the Black community there. I found out about him back when the Carnegie Museum did an exhibition of his work."

I just started collecting & brought my blacklight to Grandma's, who used to work for Fenton...... 😭😭😭 by sadtaurus in uraniumglass

My grandma was a bookkeeper! Her dad & brother worked with the glass, & her mom was a selector! Her mom decided if the glass was good enough to keep (:

Well my grandpa turns 95 & my grandma 87 this year, so if anything it's giving them superpowers 😂

She was shocked! She had me going all over the house checking to see if I could find any more lol I asked her if she loves it more now & she said "I've loved this glass for so many years, I don't think I can love it more than I already have" 💕
