@Rikki Gins Thought of you today. Walking around an antique store and saw leather postcards from 1906-1908. Do you have any leather postcards?

@GravitySucks No, I don't have any leather postcards in my collection. I do like the price shown in the photo, $4.95 each. One should never pay over five bucks for a postcard, unless there is something really special about it. But wait, Grav! Look at those glass juicers in your picture. Those might very well be made of Vaseline glass, a type of glassware that was once produced by mixing actual uranium into the molten glass. Now those I did collect some years back. I've got vases, a measuring cup, some figurines, some trays and a glass juicer like the ones shown, only mine is straight, not tilted. The cool thing about Vaseline ware is that you can easily test them for authenticity. You simply expose them to a blacklight and if they are the real thing, they will glow. You might wonder if it is safe to have radioactive glassware in your house and the answer is yes. The amount of uranium contained in the glass is minute. I've had my Vaseline items for years, and I have yet to grow an extra toe or finger.
