A friend turned me on to an app allowing smartphones to take measurements.
I tried it.
It works.
Just in case you forgot your tape measure.

It works best on the greener uranium glass. You're welcome, happy treasure hunting!

I know that this is a pretty old post but I would still like to say thank you for this tip because a friend and I were discussing how I might be able to recognize this type of glass, thanks!

If itlights up, its the real deal.

You will find all kinds of things because there are a lot of fancy neighboods but also a lot of older people who have bought all kinds of goodies they do feel is just "old stuff".
Also people who are just downsizing so they can travel or whatever. We have Salvation army stores too but other than that they are all stand alone shops. It is fun to get to know some of the owners and drop your donations at the stores that you have the most fun shopping at.
Loved your tips and humor too as everyone seems to but I have to ask...what are the magnets in your purse for? Lol

As a fellow thrift store junky myself I learned a few new tricks I haven't thought of yet (aside from the hand sanitizer lol).
Thanks a bunch!
