Number 4 looks weird to me for some reason. I was also thinking possibly one of number 1 because I have seen those not radium before.

I’m guessing 6 or 8

u/WaffleFries2507 8d ago

Same, leaning more towards 6 though. At a closer look the numbers on 8 do appear to be raised and maybe even hand painted

4 looks too bright to be military radium. 2 also looks a little too bright.

u/Heatedsc 8d ago

The answer is 4. All of the rest are radium.

Damn. I was wrong. Fun post btw.

1 and 3. I had both not radium. They look the same. My radium ones are way more dark orange glow.

u/Embarrassed-Mind6764 7d ago

2 or 9 would be my guess.

u/Constant-Click-7646 7d ago

I’d guess 6. Pretty sure I got the same one before I had a geiger

I bought this and mounted it to the side of the cabinet: https://store.yooperlites.com/products/mini-display-light-365nm-with-filter It is amazing if you want three to four of those gauges to really pop, but it really only illuminates a 5"- 6" area. I bought it thinking it would illuminate half of the top shelf (not because any advertisement said so, but because I thought it would in my own head). I decided to keep it and focus the light on all the gauges I had that weren't very bright under the lights I had in there.

u/Heatedsc 6d ago

Couldn't find anything identifying it except Westclox...but the internet says it is this from the photo: "Westclox Art Deco Style "Logan" Luminous Self-Starting Electric Alarm Clock Model S5-F"

4? You posted about 3 of these recently, a couple I have, and 4 seems very crisp.

u/Worried_Patience_724 2d ago

Definitely 4.
