Uranium float bowl
« on: July 27, 2010, 07:18:42 PM »
Could anyone tell me anything about this uranium float bowl. It's just over 28cm wide and 7.5cm high. The bowl weighs 1584g. Henry

Is that a pontil mark on the base? And have you checked that it is uranium with a UV light? I'm not convinced.

Green will do just fine. I might look at Webb or Stuart, but I really don't have a clue.

I'd be looking toward Stuart, possibly Stratford pattern again, though hard to tell without a side on view.
