well the first thing we would have too do. is put under a black light to see if glows a bright green. which mean's it has enough uranium dioxide in to call it '' vaseline glass'

Regardless  it's worth about $30.00 Dollars

hello D&B,,,I would not be too surprised.  As I have stuff I found in basement of a house I rented years ago..things the owners just were going to throw out!  I also can't throw things out..and my son has anything a film collector may want..old reels etc. he has a film lab..that in itself is almost an antique!
