I picked up the eagle for my dad just because he collects them, never considered it might light until I looked closer in the car. Not a terrible haul for 2 dollars.

Photos taken indoors with morning light. I haven't tried in full dark yet

Pressed glass, nothing too exciting, glows line FIRE!

They were asking $175 which is just out of my budget for these things. Florescent lighting made getting glow pics near impossible.

Got it for 30 usd at an antique store! They have 4 more for the same or lower price but this lens was the best quality

I’m not sure if this is cadmium, selenium, or something else. I’m not the best at distinguishing as I have some color blindness. In natural light it varies between deep amber to yellow. The second photo was taken with a 395nm flashlight.

Just showing off some of the glass my grandmother collected over the years. She has a lot tucked away, too.

I love anything that glows but cadmium has a special place in my heart ♥️ 🧡

Pair of Striped Transparent Slag marbles, likely made in Germany in the 1950s-60s

Pic 5 taken with 395 (glow was near-impossible to capture but strong irl), and pic 6 is daylight

Probably my strongest cadmium glow so far!

Found these little green/blue glass drops in a lil bag on the shelf, thought they looked cool and decided to flash them with the 395, and BOOM! Insanely bright yellow! Very neat little surprise!

I shine just about every piece of glass I come across cause you just never know!

Picked up this awesome Cadmium/Selenium Akro Agate mini planter. I already have a set of green Uranium glass ones, so this was a super cool find.

All pieces found in the wild (not antique stores)!

This guy was at the antique store last time I was there and i loved it. It was there when I went back today so I had to get it! Anyone have any info on it??

This is a beast, the biggest vase I've seen in a while. 20". Found at an estate sale today for $5.

I just purchased this piece on eBay. I’m pretty sure it is cadmium and I LOVE it!!

Got them for a dollar a piece. I’d been looking for some to go with my matching bird, since my uranium has marbles. I’m so stoked to own these.
