I say it's fake - doesn't seem to parallel anything else I've ever seen in terms of purple H.G.Co. glass. Looks too much like burgundy.
Try your blacklight technique - maybe the thing will glow and you'll be in luck!

Default Irridated?????

I liked it and it was thrown in on a deal to swing it and was not valued highly by the lineman so.... Anyway, it was nice to get an opinion by everyone who answered. I am not getting rid of it and it actualy floureced in black light more than two royal purple Can Pac's that didn't even flourece at all. The Can Pac in the picture of my purples though floureces very very strong like the BTC and the other purples in my collection. I have since traded off the two royal purple Can Pac's.

Ya irradiated pieces come in a pretty wide spectrum, it depends on what colour the original glass was in the first place and the original chemical make up of the glass as well....

Here is a list of the known colour spectrum for HG Co and Hemingray from Dwayne's page...List of Known Altered Colors

Hemingray/H.G.Co:

Varying shades of Brown amber, Orange amber, Dark smoky sage, Cornflower blue, Sapphire blue, Lavender, Purple, Reddish purple, Royal purple, Green

Hope this Helps
