During WWII the US government banned the use of uranium in glass.The first pic shows a prewar(uranium glass) and postwar lamps made by Aladdin.

Awesome! These are the ones you mentioned right? Thanks for posting and sharing these as well my friend.
Here are the pics electobacco.The prewar one was my first piece of uranium glass.But I'm not hooked...
Thanks official !!
Thanks vintage !!
Thanks wolcott !!!
Hedge, you're the best person to ask, I think. I found a light green Coca-Cola fountain style glass, and you know what?, It's uranium glass, any ideas on date? will post pics when I get batteries for camera, it died after I got the white light shot
It glows bright green under blacklight? If so it is pre WWII. Or a recent repro ,which I doubt . I have never seen one.I have seen old Coke bottles that are Uranium glass.They are rare and go for $100 + on Ebay.Cool find kerry !!
Why did they ban it? They needed the ingredients that are part of the "recipe"? What for? Bombs?
These are beautiful Hedge.
Amber I think it was a combo of the US wanting tight control due to testing , and fear of it falling into enemy hands.The use of uranium in warfare was still new then. Little was known of it's full potential.
Thanks kerry and pickr !!
Thanks van,Beaux and Marc !!
Here they are Scandi !
Yeah I've been hating the delay...don't know what's going on there!
Those are curtain tie backs .
Thanks elayem and Amber !!
