What is this uranium item? = kettle handle
« on: January 29, 2011, 08:51:25 PM »
I found this whilst walking near an old victorian dump where people had been bottle digging. I picked it up took it home and cleaned it up. I put it under a black light & it glowed quite brightly.
It has a hole running right through it & measures about 3 1/2 inches.

We thought a handle or lamp part, maybe a large piece of jewelry????

sounds more likely, then again it would be a very modern thing for a victorian dump. the area had a lido & hotel built on top of it around 1910.
could of come out of the said hotel though during the refurb???

actualy the lido was cross the road & dump at the back of the hotel, I'm going to look at art deco light pulls...

Getting there, Rose.  :thup:

Not a spoon rest, but a knife rest.

So far....everyone is wrong, and I win the prize!!!!
While this photo is in black and white, I have seen this in person and can verify that it was made from vaseline glass.  I have seen two of these in the past 12 years.  This is an old file photo of mine, from a previous newsletter.
