Hi, anyone have information on where this type of table with ashtrays and lamp was used? It’s stamped The Marley Co.
Was this something people would have in their homes? Or perhaps something from a lounge of some kind?
My grandparents had one by The Houzex company in their livingroom, which had glass ashtrays that matched the other glass parts, plus an electric cigar/cigarette lighter. No lamp attached to theirs, though. Yours has a company name on its bottom.
Have you checked if the green glass is uranium?
That thing is pretty cool.
BHIFOS, how do you check what type of glass?
The "lamp" was added later by some owner. Love these type of ashtrays. I have to say the tray is more unusual than I have seen on these and that is a plus on these beautes !~
If it is uranium glass it will react to UV light, you can get UV torches and lamps but introducing sunlight that has lots of UV can make it glow in the right conditions, best at sunset where the visible light deminshes but the UV stays strong. Search Uranium glasss on Google or the "search all show and tell" on CW and you'll find heaps of information.
Thanks for the information and tips. People on this site are so knowledgeable and helpful!
