First Clock

Found my first Radium clock this past Saturday. Initially found it with my black light in the antique store while looking for urainum glass, but it wasn’t until I got a closer look at it and checked it with Geiger counter (on a hunch given how the paint looked with the black light) that I realized what I’d found. Clock is in really good condition and isn’t leaking radium dust (it’s been throughly looked at under black light) but will be monitored for deterioration. Currently it’s homed in my display case amongst my urainum glass collection.

Best me and my boyfriend can tell is that this Seth Thomas clock was possibly made in either May 1925 or May 1935.
