Uranium glass headlights!
Lustrousstone:
I guess it was the Notek Fogmaster that used the uranium glass. There is a variety of Notek lamps on ebay, including the Roadmaster
Frank:
There are probably more details on other railroad sites. It is the reflector and not the lens that matters.

I love the review of Skelcher, The Big Book of Vaseline Glass:-
--- Quote ---Mr. Skelcher of UKAEA(Atomic Energy Agency in UK) explains the history, effect of radiation, and method of radiation measurement..
Of course, all colored vaseline glass photos are shown.
Good for maniac people.
--- End quote ---
While it is easy to smile at minor mistranslations, you have to admire the JUGCC website and the effort involved in producing it. I look forward to Dr. Tomabechi and his associates utilising the GMB, and should they read this, I assure them that they would be most welcome.
... and the big bowl of vaseline glass of "EDO KIRIKO" (two layer cut glass of EDO era style), which is probably only one piece in Japan sounds fascinating, but desperately needs illustrating with photographs and further explanation.

Maniac people must be me then. Also seems they are making some uranium glass in Japan
Leni:
Do you think it's a symptom of us Uranium glass collectors, that we are Manic? :mrgreen: :chky:
I wonder if the Japanese use the closed cabinet method used by the Scandinavians when working with Uranium glass, or if they are just less careful for their workers' health and safety? Hmmmm! :-\
