Matter Item #330

Giving vintage treasures a new life is fun, but watch out—some old items hide sneaky lead! These test swabs help you spot lead on things like glass, ceramics, painted walls, and more.

Using the same clever chemistry detectives use to find gunshot residue, the swab instantly changes color when it meets lead—from pink to purple. The darker and faster the color pops, the more lead you’ve got. Simple as that.

Comes in a convenient tube with child-safe pop cap. Toss it in your purse or car to check items at estate sales, thrift stores, and more.

Very glad I bought this. These are impossible to find in my home country of Norway, because lead paint was outlawed here for most uses back in the 1920's, so it's very rare to find. However, as someone who collects antiques that are sometimes older than that, it's nice to be able to test to make sure I'm safe.
Luckily my chair from 1880 had no lead paint on it, but one of my decorative antiques from 1857 did, so that's safely behind glass now and not out in the open.
I really appreciate being able to buy this from here, so I didn't have to buy from Amazon, because I don't support the way they treat their workers.

Great price for the product!

I ordered the lead test swabs to check some old dishes I'd inherited. The directions were clear and easy to follow. They came individually wrapped in a cute package that protected them well. They were exactly what I needed at a good price.

These were useful for detecting led in solder.
