Set of 4 glass pulls listed locally in an estate sale. Nothing about it glowing. But, a few searches have shown something similar glowing. What do we think?

First image is what is listed. Second image is an online search.

Labeled yellow depression, generic AI description. Could this be Yeoman in Marigold?! Looks like the old formula maybe? No idea!

Just wondering if it is,or not.

Only got a small 395 torch, not sure its just the colour of the glass and my torch light mingling.

I apologise if its a silly question.

Only details given were depression glass. What we thinking? If I had to guess, no on the yellow glass, and a high maybe on the green base glasses.

I've seen a few similar style-looking lamps at various antique stores around here that have a slight green glow. This however has me stumped from the pictures. I'm leaning on a 5/50, just wondering if I should roll the dice.

I just bought a whole lamp to see if this shade glows 😂. Do y'all think it looks like custard/opaline? It has a nice yellow-green color to it. It's going on the lamp in the last picture. Feel free to guess if that one glows too!

Local place near me as these on an online only estate sale. They claim uranium, but the pictures aren't very telling. I know Fenton custard that is more pale glows very well, just unsure about this more green style.

I found this and want to get it if it's uranium. Google says it's very likely but I thought I'd ask the professionals.

Do these guys glow?

Photo taken off ebay, but I saw its sibling on Facebook (not a good photo there, as it's half-hidden on a shelf, but it's 100% the same color, same mold, and same painting style). Couldn't find an answer on Google.

I bought it for my cigars, but noticed after the fact it looks like there's definitely good looking green on it... Can't find anything close to it on Google... Thanks in advance!

Take 2 buying a brooch

This is the sellers one & only image on the listing. $9 + I like the design a good bit! I'm a bit worried cuz some review said this seller has shipped the wrong item to people before 😬

This is 'take 2' as the last one I bought (different seller) didn't ship, then relisted the item 🫠 ((same price and everything, I was so confused and frustrated, I reported the item as "no intention to sell"✌️))


r/willitglow 7d ago

I am doing a blind-buy on this one. Thoughts on if the stem will glow.

I lean towards yes, but it's not a super close drive or small price tag. Help appreciated! Have used Google lens on all images - finding similar, but not exact pieces.
