Technically glitter lamp, but I came across this clock tucked away in a scrap bin while I was picking up two other lava lamps (you can kinda see them in the background, they are still being worked on... anyone know of the best dimmer switch one can use for Lava Lamps?)

Owners said it didn't work and hadn't in decades, said I could have it. Took it home, stripped it down as best as I could and cleaned everything up. Internals and wires were all rotted. Swapped them out and after searching two weeks for the proper sized bulbs, I FINALLY found some that were within 1mm of proper size. I swear this clock body was designed around the bulb size, literally ZERO tolerance for anything else. Takes an old GE nightlight/Christmas bulb that isn't in production anymore. Clock kinda works, though its making a god awful noise, too afraid to tinker with it more.

Anyway, I digress. Behold, a 60 year old glitter lamp clock! Sped up 1.2x because otherwise its rather underwhelming.

Saw this at an antique store. Being sold for parts, I think for around $30-40.

There is a leak near the flame adjustment on a table lighter ive been slowly restoring. New flint, springs and wheel. But I cant seem to fix this leak. Is it possible or is it a lost cause, time to find a replacement insert?

Hit a jackpot today with some finds at an estate sale. A regular and mini sized iridescent vaseline Hen on Nest (pretty sure both are Boyd), a vaseline cake stand I haven't been able to identify, an iridescent vaseline Mosser Diamond Cut vase, a Anchor Hocking mixing bowl, another bowl and I cannot identify and a small vaseline dish I haven't been able to identify. Sorry for the shoddy picture, I just unloaded the car and needed to head into work. I'll take better pictures soon.

Today's glunting find, a stack of Jeanette Pinwheel pattern bowls. $5 each, couldn't resist. Now for the rest of the set!

Set of 4 glass pulls listed locally in an estate sale. Nothing about it glowing. But, a few searches have shown something similar glowing. What do we think?

First image is what is listed. Second image is an online search.

At a local estate sale, they have two lamps listed as Cranberry Hobnail Hurricane Lamp, possibly Fenton.

None of the Fenton Hobnail Hurricane Lamps I see online look like this. No fancy fringe up top, and normally the base glass is also hobnail.

What we think? Fenton, or Frank?

Out glunting, stumbled upon this. Listed at $189.

Only details given were depression glass. What we thinking? If I had to guess, no on the yellow glass, and a high maybe on the green base glasses.

I've seen a few similar style-looking lamps at various antique stores around here that have a slight green glow. This however has me stumped from the pictures. I'm leaning on a 5/50, just wondering if I should roll the dice.

Local place near me as these on an online only estate sale. They claim uranium, but the pictures aren't very telling. I know Fenton custard that is more pale glows very well, just unsure about this more green style.

Was a joy driving all this home. Several white knuckle moments...

Never seen a uranium funnel in person before. Listed for $130, laughed at price and left it be. Mistake?

Some lamps!

Been waiting on this for some time now, has been zero movement for several weeks. I initiated a missing mail search, but that hasn't done anything other than "accepted".

What is the next course of action?

Appears to be missing something, but am unsure what it could be. Either way, would you pick this up from an estate sale?

Saw this while out glunting (glass hunting, is that a word? It is now.) today. Priced at $175, could probably wiggle them down some. Still unsure if that is a decent price or not as I am still very new to this.

A complete Enterprise Aluminum Co. Drip-O-Lator in uranium glaze. Not rare, but still a neat fine. First time I saw a complete set in person so I went ahead and grabbed it.

Apologies for the terrible frame rate gif, videos aren't allowed so I had to get creative.

Anyways, post your seasonings! What are your favorites? Am I missing any must haves? I have 10 slots available...

Apologies for the terrible picture. A photographer I am not. But I was visiting the Greentown, Indiana antique glass mall. (Yes, an antique store 97% dedicated to antique glass. Greentown, IN used to have a glass producing factory, which is now a dedicated museum) and I saw this fellow tucked away on a shelf. Saw the red bit and knew it had to be cadmium, so I hit it with my UV light. What shocked to see the base glow green. Unsure if its glaze or a custard uranium base. Was priced at $60, which was considerably cheap considering the prices of everything else there. Its as if they are treating the place as a display and less as a store... things you could easily find for $20 online were priced for $90-150 there. Absolutely insane, but they did have many interesting pieces! I got there right as closing time, so next time I go I'll take more pictures and post here in case anyone in the area is interested!
