Looked like a fun morning at the Slatington Marketplace. The oil lamp was a great find and the price was fabulous. I would estimate it to be mid to late 1800s.
Beautiful lamp. I think you managed to get me hooked on the hunt! Im trying to furnish my recently purchased 1841 house with as much period pieces as possible and of course a few not so period. Happy New Year to you 🎉
At 10:15, you scanned by 2 Slipper Shade lamps who's shades stand a really good chance of being UG. Really exciting to see this much UG out in the wild.
I recently discovered this type of glassware and I can tell you i’m very interested in drinking from this for the health benefits. Don’t let the name scare you it’s perfectly safe
Have you found much....or, for that matter, ANY selenium glass at these places? I have been to half a dozen HUGE malls and looked through probably tens of thousands of items at this point and have only seen one single thing that I think *might* have been selenium. It's the last photoluminescent glass dopant element I want to find and I can't seem to find it anywhere. I cannot tell if this is because the glow is inherently dim relative to things like Cd an U and therefore essentially invisible inside lit cases behind glass doors, or because I'm partially red-green colorblind and pinks and reds are difficult to see. Is it always light blue under visible light and is there excitation wavelength difference in the induced fluorescence intensity?
I have found selenium glass! I have to admit that it took me a while to find some but once I did other pieces seemed to start to jump out at me! I realized that I needed to have the piece in a pretty dim area in order to see the fluorescence sometimes. Based on what I’ve learned selenium is also used in Amberina glass along with cadmium so you can sometimes see a bright orange/pink glow from selenium in those pieces. I have not hunted for many of the light blue selenium glass pieces, because I find the dim orange glow in those pieces to be a bit lack-luster. I personally find that the pink toned glassware with selenium produces a brighter and more satisfying hot pink/orange glow. I personally believe I’ve had more luck finding selenium using a 395nm light, but I’ve had people state the contrary, so I cannot truly answer that with certainty. I can try and get a compilation together of photos and videos to showcase some selenium pieces I have found - I’ve sold most of the ones from my personal collection. Maybe seeing some additional examples will help or at least give you some items to look out for in your searches. I have to admit that I don’t search for selenium glass as much as the uranium, but I honestly think that’s just due to color preference. I should include it in my searches more often.
@@terrestrialtreasures Interesting, well, I suppose I will just have to look more carefully then! I would love to see a selenium glass video on the pieces you have even to just get an idea of what colors to look out for! To my knowledge no one else has ever done a video on Se glass anywhere. Thanks for the detailed reply!
I've been going to the flea market here in Detroit and a lot of people don't know what they have and it's going really cheap and you never find displays like that here
You need to come to the antique markets in England, you would pay less than half those prices that those sellers there want - too ridiculous, so expensive for no reason. 🇬🇧
This was such a cool video, no loud unnecessary bs, just cool finds and good vibes.
That lamp in the first of the video was great and I did not know about the corn shakers
It's a great adventure!
Feels so exciting!!!!
Love the Uranium 💚💚
This video just popped up on my feed and I think that place is right near me. I never even knew this place existed!!!

It was an excellent day! I would have to agree with you on the potential date of the oil lamp. I haven't found one quite like it yet in my research!
You and I have so much in common! Wish I could show you my antique chiming clocks. And I hunt for agates!
Impressive!

Happy New Year to you 🎉
That is so awesome! I would love to see how it turns out! Best of luck on the hunt!!! 💚🔦
Quite a lot of Vaseline glass has an Opal texture, might be something to keep in mind if you don’t have a black light.

Those salt and pepper shakers you should have grabbed! Did I see 25$?

Ooo that’s very lucky! Enjoy it!! 💚
What light are you using
I believe it’s ultra violet light UV light .
Do you ever think people look at you funny for shining your light on things? I get odd looks every once in a while
