bumblebee Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Curious to know that as well, and also in what sizes? The biggest vaseline slag I've found is 7/8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 All the slag makers except MFC? As far as I know. I have a few each from Akro, Peltier, and Christensen. They're not particularly common, though. Akro probably had the most, and the biggest, although I don't know for sure, since I never actively pursued them. I spent most of my time scrounging around for Pelt ones! And according to the MFC records, they didn't have Vaseline. The full extent of my knowledge.

J_Ding Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Agree with Ann! I can't think of another manufacturer, and I'm bummed that I haven't yet found a Pelt yet. And yes, I've seen no reliable information in the history of MFC that vaseline glass was ever made by them. Also, big surprise, but I've been unable with any confidence to separate out my putative Akros and CAC vaseline slags...they sit together for now.

I'llhavethat1 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Does "Vaseline" refer to the color of the glass or does it need to glow as well? Largest I could find is 15/16"+ From what I've seen (very limited sample group) CAC slags actually have more of an orange hue under UV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I vote glow. Uranium glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 What about the Foreign slags, did any of them have the Uranium glow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I vote glow. Uranium glow. What she ^^^ said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 What about the Foreign slags, did any of them have the Uranium glow? I have a problematic medium green one -- problematic in that structurally it looks like a German 2-seamed slag, but it's hot as heck, pure bright uranium green under UV None of my other German 2-seamed slags glow green like that -- just the occasional threads of hot orange. So the green one is problematic for me. The medium green color in regular light looks very CAC >>banging head on desk<< Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 So that was fun to do! #4 of the red #2 seam Ger. slags I have do glow like crazy. #3 of the green #2 seam slags do glow. But what amazes me the most,the clear transp- colorless based ones ,they all glow,some light green,some pink and others lavender. Does anyone else have clear colorless based slags,if you have go to look and maybe you're surprised too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I do! Will have fun tonight, thanks Winnie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Well, I remembered correctly, more or less. Only the green 2-seamed slag was hot uranium green under UV. Two red ones lit up with streaks of orange. The rest (a dozen or so, including the transparent colorless ones) did not react. But. A few of my Euro sparklers caught me by surprise. Some had the expected threads (or areas) of hot orange, but on two of them the moderate to small areas of white lit up lavender! Never seen that before. Wow. So you have some red 2-seamed ones that glow green, Winnie? Or am I reading that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 The red ones do not glow green (that would be a surpriseLOL). They glow looks like fire,it's very bright reddish-orange. Ann do you have wirepull's with red,if so look at the red under UV light and you can see it. I have been told that it's caused by Manganese.

ann Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Oooo -- I have just one red one. Will check tonight! Your green slags glow green? Or that vivid orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yes they glow light green (uranium). You're right about the Euro sparklers,most of them do glow,mostly orange but also other colors. I took this pic- of an EU sparkler years ago.

J_Ding Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 This thread got me to tinkering with the lighting and another example of a vaseline slag (not the one in #5, I think!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I found a few pieces of uranium glass in the MFC factory building - including a few marble pieces. They made at least one melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 That's an interesting tidbit about your MFC finds, Brian. Sure is. Especially since it's not mentioned in the MFC book. Hmmmm . . . Yep, that big chunk of serious green is the green I was talking about, Alan -- nice cullet! And nice to see the two colors for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
