droptopman Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Good read. Thanks for posting it. I remember reading a story about the "radium girls" in the past but it did not cover the lume history to present day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFlorida Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I have a marathon dial with tritium tubes that i'm selling on the bay. Even has tritium glass tubes on the hour and minute hands. I think they last 25 years and these are about 8 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
