I've seen Snorkels with both plain white paint and also Tritium, but the older ones will have Radium dials. Although we don't have adverts for them, the price lists show Snorkels back to the 50's.
Radium was still being used in watches until the early sixties, and in clocks until 1978.
This particular example is Tritium, but only the hands. This is not that unusual, as the position of the hands in the dark is enough to tell the time.
Snorkel, year TBD.
