Depression Shaker?

(1/2) > >>

Cyberborikua:
Found this shaker in the woods close to where I found the sauce and the half pint bottles, but this one was just on the surface, probably unearthed by rainfall action. Is this a depression shaker? 1930-40s? It has several chips and a small crack by the mouth, but still looks good.

Interesting, but unfortunately I have none of them. What material is it?

Ok, I just found the following information. The gree stain is called Jadite and glows in the dark in the presence of black light. Vintage shaker probably from the 1930s

McKee Glass Company, which made some of the earliest cookie jars, also made simple square shakers in the 1930s but chose Art Deco lettering instead of painted designs for most of its exteriors. McKee also bucked the milk-white trend in favor of colors such as amber, ruby, and a green hue called jadite, which glowed in the dark when exposed to a black light.

Yeah that one reason but also the yellowish green color makes me think that uranium oxide was added which will make it glow under UV. Called Vaseline glass it has been made off and on since the 1920's.

BitburgAggie_7377:
cyberborikua, you really should invest in a UV light.   Fortunately you can pick up one that will cover most of your needs at most sporting goods stores for just a few dollars.   Finding one that will handle multiple wave-lengths and is still portable is a little tougher and will set you back quite a bit more, but is still do-able.   (And a good idea if you get into flourescent rocks since many of them will change colors depending upon whether you're using a longwave or a shortwave light).

But for 90% or more of the stuff you'll want to check the cheap ones will do just fine.

BA
