Vaseline glass? A.G. Smalley & Co.

[ROBBYBOBBY64]

I purchased an A.G. Smalley pat. April 5, 1898 milk bottle that I now realize that under U.V. light it is fluorescent yellow/green. The bottle is clear (colorless) in natural light. Is this common or is it the type of glass, Vaseline glass? I put a ring which I made the cabochon out of depression glass green. It is in the last picture. What do you all think? Not depression glass but still fluorescent.

I had it almost 2 years and had no idea it was fluorescent or that they made the smalleys in Vaseline glass. Was this common? Was Vaseline glass clear in natural light or green?

I don't really know the background to that company but it makes me wonder if any seemingly normal bottles in my own collection could be like this haha! Really cool!

It makes me think that you would probably want to keep it away from the "family jewels"... just sayin'.
