Below are a few websites that I have found that sell glass and most post information on the subject. These are provided for informational purposes. There are many excellent photographs to be seen on these sites. I am not affiliated with any and no promotional fee was charged for the listing. Use due diligence when purchasing any ABP glass.

Blacklight Source

At the July 15-17, 2007 ACGA Convention I had several people ask about where I had obtained a pocket blacklight. I found it on ebay sold by ScaleDiscounters. Their store is no longer on ebay, but many other suppliers are there.

The light I had with me has 9 LEDs. They currently have a 21 LED model on their site. Mine works fairly well, but any blacklight needs to be used in a very dark space. It is very difficult to see the green/yellow fluorescence of most ABP in a lighted room.

I use another one with a 4" fluorescent tube, sold on ebay as counterfeit money detectors. It works a little better, but is bulkier.
