Collectors are my friends

So, we thought our generation owned the top award for the most dangerous chemicals used in every day products. Not so. Try to one~up putting "Uranium" in your drinking glasses. Yea. Thought so.

I recently purchased a greenish~yellowish depression era juicer. In my search for its identity, which always leads me down a very entertaining and educational road, I discovered that I may have a genuine Vaseline (as the term goes), Uranium filled piece! Though I need a blacklight to prove it, and I placed a large question mark on the price tag, it's a sweet little find.

Almost as amusing as the history of this type of glass itself, is the fact that there are actual conventions held for Vaseline glass collectors! Ahh, my collector peeps! They make me smile, even more so when they buy my stuff!
