Hiccup ----> .......Uranium Shot Glass??
« on: July 17, 2010, 05:24:15 AM »
 :hi: Hi, I assume that this might be a Shot Glass....about 3 inches tall.  See no marking, but it does glow brightly -- I was just having problems trying to get a good pic

Any ideas on age, or maker?

Thxs as always  :)

*** Pics Now added, geeeez thought I had them here -- Sorry ***

Rose, now that I think of it, 3 inches is pretty big for a shot glass...  maybe it's something else?

Or even a jelly/jam jar which were often used as drinking glasses but it's not what I think of as a typical shape for that.

Hi there:
Went back to this item, and took a better pic on a darker surface with the UV torch to show the Glow.  I also measured it again -- and it is ONLY 2 inches tall.  Where I got 3 inches before, is beyond me.  Must have been the *contents* in it.  :24: Sorry for the wrong size, but here is a better pic of the glow anyways too.

:ooh:

Makes a big difference on a dark surface with the UV light.....much better pic

Ah, the joys of alcohol...  it has a way of making glass bigger, and people appear more attractive than they really are  :24:
