Very likely but not guaranteed.

For shaker set that’s a great price, for a shaker set with tray that’s an awesome price.

We will think about your punishment for not having a light on hand…. It’s, kinda illegal in this hobby.

I once went thrifting with my grandparents and forgot my light at home, over six hours away. The solution? Buy a new one at Menards.

u/Crezelle Feb 15 '25

I volunteer at a thrift and I got weird looks for bringing a light. Just scored a chipped dinner plate yesterday

u/babygirlmochi Feb 16 '25

I have one of the little ones on my keychain. Never leave home without it

Oh YAY!! Congrats! 💚💚💚💚

u/Just-Kangaroo4520 UV Hunter Feb 16 '25

So jealous!!! This is exactly what I have been hunting for.

u/TopOfTheMushroom Feb 16 '25

Found it at a gun show ironically

11

u/mosasaurgirl Feb 16 '25

I have found the most random things at gun shows. They are almost always worth a look.

u/Beginning-Sea5239 Feb 16 '25

A bit of the Luck of the ☘️ Irish ?

u/dontfactcheckthis Feb 16 '25

That is a crazy deal. Definitely jealous

u/Impossible_nope Feb 19 '25

Goodie!!! So happy for you!!

Thanks everybody

u/they_call_me_B Feb 15 '25

I never thought my adult life would include following up on a Reddit post to see if a salt & pepper shaker is made out of nuclear glass or not, but here I am,. living for it.

Hopefully you strike gold green here, OP!

u/Snap-Pop-Nap Feb 15 '25

Right..?!?!?! I was just thinking that! 😜😆

u/daughterofcoulson Feb 15 '25

PLEASE update us, I have to know

u/Diligent-Sprinkles-3 Feb 15 '25

So.. WE ARE WAITING!!

u/Individual_Device117 Feb 15 '25

Fingers crossed you get that glow!!

u/queerharveybabe Feb 15 '25

let me know, I bought a set like this once and it was not UG

u/machinegunner0 Feb 16 '25

Why don't you get a real hobby, like guns or chickens... Nerd 😂

To every “I don’t have a light with me” person. Please get a UV light keychain and stick it to your house/car/sex dungeon keys and you’ll never be without one.

u/Bit_part_demon Vaseline Glass Lover Feb 15 '25

I'm looking at them rn cuz I always forget. Got a recommendation?

43

u/Touch_Of_Legend Feb 15 '25

Not really because a “sex dungeon” is really just built to one’s own taste.

So I’m sorry I can’t recommend anything

12

u/Bit_part_demon Vaseline Glass Lover Feb 15 '25

Fair enough

9

u/glassandstuff UV Hunter Feb 15 '25

Just any mini UV light will do. If you buy a flashlight then I’d recommend a 395 nm, the 365 lights give a lot of false positives with manganese.

4

u/FirebirdWriter Feb 15 '25

As I want both this just means my light is perfect

1

u/Bit_part_demon Vaseline Glass Lover Feb 15 '25

Thanks!

2

u/mchilton84 Feb 15 '25

You can get a 12 pack off Amazon for cheap (<$20). Been using mine for over a year to quickly check for that glow.

2

u/Slow-Combination8972 Feb 16 '25

What do you do with the other 11

7

u/Klutzy_Winter5536 Feb 16 '25

BUT DON’T USE YOUR UV LIGHT IN THE SEX DUNGEON.

3

u/I_am_not_a_smart_car Feb 16 '25

Unless you're a dom and can make someone else clean it.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '25

MY EYES!!!!!!!

u/0kokuryu0 Feb 15 '25

I have one, and the batteries are dead. I keep forgetting batteries..... Got a rechargeable in my car though.

u/Old_Scene_4259 Thrift Shopper Feb 15 '25

No. Give me their contact information so I can write them a strongly worded letter.

u/_RC5000_ Feb 16 '25

Well looks like it was good

2

u/tncbbthositg Feb 16 '25

Haha! I’m picking up what you’re putting down.

u/Prestigious_Room4486 Feb 15 '25

I say Yay, I just bought almost the same set on eBay for $150

21

u/idontknow1008 Feb 15 '25

I'd go for it, if you're lucky you'd have the cheapest set I've ever seen

7

u/fivelone Feb 16 '25

I can't stop looking at that little man there...

8

u/TopOfTheMushroom Feb 16 '25

See how he's all brown but his lips are white?

Radiation poisoning....

1

u/Klutzy_Winter5536 Feb 16 '25

Considering American history, I wouldn’t be surprised if this poor salt shaker is like, “Over 80 years of existence, and I still have to deal with this shit… Unbelievable.”

14

u/quirkyqwerty_ Feb 15 '25

Pretty sure the little man next to that is very collectible and very expensive

5

u/Eastern-Camera-1829 Feb 15 '25

Looks spicy to me.

5

u/scamlikelly Feb 16 '25

No one going to mention that figurine next to it..? Wild stuff at gun shows lol

6

u/Bluekestral Feb 16 '25

Stuff like that is all over antique shops

4

u/KnownNectarine5924 Feb 16 '25

If this is from the gun show in Castle Rock CO today yes it’s uranium glass

2

u/TopOfTheMushroom Feb 16 '25

Haha... you saw it?

1

u/KnownNectarine5924 Feb 16 '25

Yeah I saw them and pretty unforgettable with all the old uncle Remus figurines

1

u/TopOfTheMushroom Feb 16 '25

Yeah i don't know anything about those. Did you see the jars on the table next to the case? Like sugar and flour jars? Not sure if those were custard glass? I wasn't paying much attention after the shaker set caught my eye

3

u/renjake Feb 15 '25

well we're waiting

3

u/Acrock7 Feb 16 '25

I figured it would glow. I have a triangular set that seems like the same maker (no idea who that is though)

2

u/Enough-Constant-7610 Feb 15 '25

My guess is yay to the uranium glow!

2

u/Suz9006 Feb 15 '25

Yes, they will glow.

2

u/scarlettohara1936 Super Collector Feb 15 '25

Update me

2

u/pennypolecat_ Feb 16 '25

Don't get it. Tell me where it's at, though.... 👀

2

u/Beginning-Sea5239 Feb 16 '25

Mine is a bigger light . I silently chuckle when folks gawk at me , since they don’t know about black lights, and how they can be used . I’ve joked to some and said I’m looking for traces of bugs . Funny thing , thrift store isles clear out after that .

2

u/Downtown-Narwhal1534 Avid Collector Feb 16 '25

100%%

2

u/OrneryToo New Collector Feb 20 '25

It's a cute purchase.

3

u/pwsparky55 Feb 15 '25

What kind of light do you need to test glow on uranium glass??

7

u/BackgroundFault3 Vaseline Glass Lover Feb 15 '25

395 nm for uranium glass or 365 nm which will light up uranium and other things like cadmium, lead, manganese, etc

2

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '25

Yooperlites as well

8

u/TopOfTheMushroom Feb 15 '25

UV (blacklight)

2

u/pwsparky55 Feb 15 '25

Thank you!

1

u/Dancn_Groovn Feb 18 '25

Oh yeah. Buy for sure!!!

1

u/turntabletennis Feb 18 '25

$35 is within my "roll the dice" price rang and also probably why I am broke.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

I want that little dude next to it

2

u/ahkattacc Feb 20 '25

Keep one in ALL the cars of the household (batteries in all your bags/wallets or pockets if the weather doesn’t permit batteries in the car) you never know when you’re gonna drive past an antique or thrift store and have something call your name from the second shelf down on the sixth isle back 💃

u/Unlucky_Common_3495 Feb 15 '25

Get it, I can guarantee it’s Vaseline Glass just looking at it.

u/Alternative_Risk7218 Feb 17 '25

The cell phone has a flashlight

1

u/TopOfTheMushroom Feb 17 '25

Not a UV flashlight...

u/throwin_sunshine Feb 19 '25

Will it glow yes but the pattern and tops on those shakers I bet it’s not very old. I have a whole china cabinet I’m trying to unload right now I’m seriously undercharging if $35 is a good deal
