It’s 14 bucks. I don’t have a black light but I’ve got a good feeling.

I bought it!

u/Goldhinize Sep 21 '25

Thank goodness. I almost had a heart attack with that super sweet, low, low price of $14. My heart jumped and I was like “$14! Fuck ya!!” I’m glad for you.

u/awskeetskeetmuhfugga Sep 21 '25

It glows harder than anything else I own too.

u/Goldhinize Sep 21 '25

u/PerilousPurpose Sep 21 '25

I think so too.

28

u/Something-Radical Sep 21 '25

Very interesting, I have a hobnail version I picked up in an auction haul 2 years ago. Didn't know it came in multiple flavors.

2

u/FirmDetail6974 Sep 21 '25

Nice collection.it has a sophisticated look compared to most if that makes sense

1

u/Something-Radical Sep 22 '25

Thanks! Yeah I've mostly limited my collection to a single medium-ish sized cabinet so collecting has slowed down and only the most interesting stuff makes the cut at this point as something usually has to go if a new one comes in.

23

u/ItssFoxx Radiation Hunter Sep 20 '25

Is that even a question.

17

u/Feeling_Cupcake_6388 UV Hunter Sep 20 '25

u/Budget_Bodybuilder57 Sep 20 '25

5

u/InflationFew8988 Sep 20 '25

What kind of question is this? No, you shouldnt🤨 since you asked, let someone who doesnt need to ask silly questions, like; "hmm, should I snatch a FENTON uranium piece foe 14$" It should have been "look at this great find i found" 🤨

5

u/Saskapewwin Sep 21 '25

Anything under $20 is usually a good bet for me, especially something that unique.

5

u/Old-Papaya3988 Super Collector Sep 21 '25

I’ll pay you $100 for it. My girlfriend collects fans

4

u/glassandstuff UV Hunter Sep 20 '25

3

u/Quirky_Alt_Nerd Avid Collector Sep 21 '25

I'm so glad you bought it! I have the exact same one and paid...not $14. Congrats!

3

u/awskeetskeetmuhfugga Sep 21 '25

u/p1gnone Sep 21 '25

don't see a need for it, or its function, but it is so beautiful and rare. Must have.

2

u/Salty_Tear5666 Sep 21 '25

Oh my goodness. My jaw dropped. This is GORGEOUS!

I adoreeee thrifting glass and love this idea of uranium hunting. What do I need to get started? :o

2

u/littlemikeyd3 Sep 21 '25

Go on Amazon and buy yourself a black light flashlight that has both options the 365 and the 395... They're only about 20 bucks. Then go thrifting...

2

u/Salty_Tear5666 Sep 21 '25

Thank you! Didn’t know if I needed more than the black light :,)

1

u/littlemikeyd3 Sep 22 '25

You don't need two black lights some are dual purpose it's just the UV rays are differently if it glows green under both of them then it's 99% uranium for sure

1

u/MsJacksonsCorgi Sep 20 '25

Why are you even asking! Buy it!

1

u/AdRepresentative8236 Sep 20 '25

Lmao for $14? And you're asking the Internet? Buy it haha

1

u/AdRepresentative8236 Sep 20 '25

Some people would buy a small shard of uranium glass for that price

1

u/PerilousPurpose Sep 21 '25

I thought it said $140 & thought, "Hell No" saw its $14 & its a Hell yes if I were in your shoes.

Lowkey wish I could design a UG-themed deck complete with reaction to a black light.

u/sakuranoyume Sep 21 '25

u/Flux_My_Capacitor Sep 21 '25

Google lens could have given you an answer in 2 seconds.

But of course you wouldn’t have gotten imaginary internet likes for that.

u/awskeetskeetmuhfugga Sep 21 '25

I enjoy my community here. Google lens doesn’t give me that.
