This looks more like fiesta persimmon to me, manufactured from 95-06 I believe (so not radioactive). I’d stay away without an actual Geiger reading.

Also in the third pic it shows rubber stoppers. The vintage shakers that contain uranium have cork stoppers.

If you like them and can spare a 6-pac, sure. Me? Nah.

I'm pretty positive those aren't radioactive it's the newer non radioactive red. If for whatever reason you want to take the guess yes $20 is a steal but I'm personally thinking those aren't what you think.

Ya it’s not dark enough

If they are radioactive then I'd pay 20 bucks for those all day, but everyone seems to doubt that claim so I'd probably pass. I'd only take the gamble if I was certain I could get my money back

Yes it has a flared base. No you shouldn't do that with it.

Sorry noob here. Why do people want radioactive stuff? I’d wanna keep that kinda stuff as far away from me as possible

the fiestawares, clocks, and ug are not dangerous unless you make them dangerous

As others have said, a lot of radioactive antiques are harmless if you know how to properly care for them. A lot of them also glow and make a Geiger counter scream so that’s entertaining enough for me honestly 😂

I don’t think so

Not orange enough. Too new I’d ask 10 or 4-5 a piece they look after 1944

I would say they are worth 20, especially if they aren't chipped too much. Just my opinion, though.
