That's what I was thinking, hoping, the mark dates it to the late 30s so about the right time for Murray ?  ;D ;D

yes, that could be about right for Murray.                  I've lost the plot Keith  -  I had the impression you finally said this was uranium, but now I'm not sure. :-\

I think that's manganese too. A lot of it, but it's not bright enough for Uranium. There wouldn't be "bald-of-glow" areas.

That looks more U-ish than Mn-ish.  ;D

How far away can you get your UV source from the glass, while the glow still shows?

It's uranium. You can see it on the edges in the daylight pix. I asked Keith on Facebook as soon as I saw them

You have to get really close with the light source for a reaction  ;D ;D

It's smokey grey glass, not green.  ???
And if you don't get the reaction unless it is very close, we're back to Mn.
