Aladdin Lamp Glass Finial Scroll or Bouquet 1938 Old Formula Alacite

Here's an appealing Aladdin Alacite glass finial from the late 1930s. It's called Scroll or Bouquet.
The Alacite glass (Aladdin's own unique invention) is quite opalescent, especially all around the edges. It is so lovely and glowing! Besides that, this glass was made with the Old Formula Alacite, with uranium, and it glows green under a black light -- see the 2nd photo. (Newer Aladdin glass finials, made when the US was gearing up for WWII or actively fighting in WWII, has no uranium and glows purple under black light.)
It's 3 1/2 inches long and 1 5/8 inches wide. In fine condition and fits a standard lamp harp. Age-appropriate surface wear to the brass ferrule, no chips or cracks to the glass. Beautiful and luminous.
