Topic: Glow in the dark spider,

[keith]

Webb Corbett paperweight i found today been after a spider one for ages,thought someone might like to see it

[Lustrousstone]

  Nice one

[Anne]

Ohhh that's nice Keith! I've seen the clear glass version before (think Max had one?) but not the uranium one.

[Paul S.]

very nice Keith  -  I have seen this version, but only once before...........I have a feeling this is quite a scarce item, worth hanging on to.

[keith]

Thanks all,Paul I hang on to everything

[Anne]

I was right and wrong...   it was Max, but hers was uranium too...  I missed that!

The topic has a link to this page too:
http://www.justglass.co.uk/Gallery/BDH/BDH018.htm and there's an entry in Black Country History referencing one in Broadfield House collection: http://blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/DMUSE_BH925/

I do have a ref pic of a clear one, but no idea where I found it! 

Incidentally, there may be a blue cased one as well:

There's a picture in 20th Century British Glass,page 379.like the moth one,wonder how many variation were made,I've only a few so how many do I need for the set?

I have the Uranium one - the spider itself does not glow - but is cased in a glowing cage.
I love it. 

[keith]

.........and yet another

Uranium's the bestest one, though.

The spider is rather lovely - beautifully represented.
