While going through some of my bottles I came across this one. Its embossed EASTMAN, ROCHESTER, N. Y.
When doing a search I found one for sale that shows the their bottle under a black light and glowing. I have seen uranium glass many times but I didn't expect it to be in this type of bottle. The next day I bought a cheap black light flashlight at Harbor Freight for $8 and was surprised to find my bottle glows too, but I was more surprised to find out how many of my bottles have uranium in the glass. I imagine this is old news for many of you on this forum but some may find it interesting. I may eventually get a decent black light and take some pictures for fun. Here are a couple of pictures of my bottle and a screen shot of the one from the internet. Roy
