A lump of uranium glass, engraved with a stylized atom and olive twig and the caption “UD Hamr”.
Uranové dole Hamr was a uranium mine near Hamr na Jezeře, Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic. However, I have no idea why or when this piece was created. I have since seen blank uranium glass lumps in the same shape in the collection of Prof. Henning von Phillipsborn, but couldn’t find out more than that they were probably made in Czechosolovakia. I would be happy for any piece of information anyone can provide.
