The original manufcturer was McKee -- I have found some links in the past by searching for
mckee +"bottoms up"
in the various search engines
These are currently being reproduced -- the originals have writing (the patent number) molded into the rim, while the reproductions do not have writing.
The yellow color that you mention is called "vaseline" and it contains uranium oxid and glows under blacklight. While vaseline glass was not manufactured for many years, it is being made currently
Here is a link to a site selling them:

You may want to search for others...
Hope this helps

: If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
