Circa: 1935–1942
Oak Ridge Associated Universities / Museum of Radiation and Radioactivity Uranium glass is broader than Vaseline glass; transparent yellow to yellow-green glass owes color to uranium; UV testing in the dark is described as a reliable way to identify uranium when glass glows rich green; ORAU also notes exceptions where uranium glass may not fluoresce.
Use as primary evidence for UV testing and for explaining that “Vaseline glass” is narrower than “uranium glass.”
Portable Spectral Services / micro-XRF article Explains UV fluorescence and Geiger counter testing as methods and shows micro-XRF as elemental confirmation.
Consistent with uranium glass, but still screen for residues/repairs.
