ps i have another question for Jim or anyone else, does the glow from the Orange leaves
mean they contain Uranium, or would it be another mineral/metal??

[Lustrousstone]

The orange glow in not uranium, I think it might be cadmium, but don't hold me to that

Some unusual fairy lamps are in the auction posted in Events forum.

Yes, there are some "unusual" fairy lamps up for auction.  A few really nice ones and a couple that appear to be "make dos".

Here in the US there is an outstanding glass and lamp auction coming up in June.  It has several dozen choice fairy lamps along with many other miniature and full size oil lamps.  If you like art glass or Victorian lamps, check out the auction highlights at:
