It was called a spinarthroscope. The kit included a small piece of uranium ore. In a dark room, you put the device on your eye and held the uranium up to the screen and could see green flashes caused by the radiation interacting with the screen at the front.

I saw what the radium did to people in a documentary about the period of elements:Radium is closely related to Calcium and hence the body absorbs radium and stores it where radium use to be stored – in the skeleton. and most often in the jaw bones.

And just because it no longer glows, does NOT mean it's no longer radioactive. Radium half-lifes in 1600 years; the 'glow agents' deplete after a few years.--
I dont know how dangerous these items are, though. Radium undergoes alpha particle decay, and those particles are easily stopped. Even a paper bag will block alpha particles. But if you were to ingest an alpha-particle emitter, that will be bad.
