My husband and I visited a new (to us) antique stop today. It's definitely going on my list of favorites, even if it's a bit pricey. They had so much good stuff.

The little wooden one in the last picture came home with me. It was $4 ☺️

Hi there. I found this Boyd Glass "Fuzzy the Bear" at an antique store recently and wondered if he maybe contains manganese. I'm actually a relatively new uranium glass collector so I know very little about manganese other than how to tell it apart from uranium, but this piece has me stumped. The bear is purple in normal light, doesn't react under 395 nm at all, and turns green under 365. I would not say that it glows as uranium or manganese would, it just changes color.

The first picture shows normal light. Second is 395 nm. Third is 365. Fourth picture shows the maker mark for identification purposes.

I can't find any information about this particular color variant of the bear online, so any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I brought home the little gentleman in pic 3. He was only $3. 😊

I know it's not the spiciest of radioactive things, but I hope it's welcome here. I've been collecting since March and I'm really enjoying it.

My husband and I went through a tiny bit of the "World's Longest Yard Sale" today. The US Route 127 spans 690 miles from Michigan to Alabama. I found an amazing fish shaped uranium glass mustard dish, but they wanted $350 for it. 🙃

The pieces I picked up were significantly less. $10 for the tumbler, $10 for the shot glass, $25 for the bird, and $5 for the teacup.

The shot glass and bird are new pieces from the Czech Republic. The tumbler is Hazel Atlas Moderntone from the 1930s and the teacup is Macbeth-Evans Cremax Bordette milk glass from the 1930s or 40s. That one was a surprise to me when I found it, as I didn't expect it to glow. There were several more, but alas, I can't afford them all.

Antique/vintage/boutique stores have been a surprising source of several of these. They've been super fun to collect so far.

Google is proving mostly unhelpful at identifying these pieces, so please correct me if I am wrong:

First one is (I believe) an Imperial glass Pansy relish dish. I gave $8 for it.

Second one is Indiana Glass Tiara in Chantilly green. This one was also $8.

Number 3 gives me a different result every time I search it. I believe it's Indiana Glass cadmium, but it's also said selenium and uranium. 🤦‍♀️ It also can't decide between vase and candle holder. This one was $15.

Number 4 is definitely a Degenhart "sweetheart" shaped toothpick holder. That was the only one that was marked. It was the smallest piece and also the most expensive at $26.

Went to two stores today. I brought home the green planter in pic 7. Bonus real shop cat at the end. 😸

This is the most I've gotten at once, but I had to have that Hazel Atlas container. I found one several weeks ago that I wanted but was disappointed at how badly damaged it was. This one only has a couple minor chips.

I bought this candlestick holder today and it has paint on it that I want to take it off if possible, but I also wanted to make sure it's not *supposed* to be there. Clearly I don't want to remove it if it's supposed to be there. It's kind of giving kid's art project, though. 😅 Does anyone have any idea?

Some great finds today! The last one came home with me. 😊

The lamp was SO cool but I just couldn't spend $250 today. I brought home the bowl in the last picture. It's a Jenkins glass "Ocean Wave" pattern bowl, likely produced between 1929 and 1932.

I wanted the window so badly, but it was $200 😫
