Topic: Paul Ysart Ephemera

Please see my reply to your message about a possible Ysart cane in a PP20 weight. I have mentioned there how to link to the correct images in GlassGallery.

The "53" could just as easily have been a typo in the advertising material, but not regarded as significant enough to bin the run and reprint them.

Also, although the "53" does not seem to make sense for the known researched dates, perhaps it is possible that Paul Jokelson funded advertising material later than 1975.

And, for more interest, note that in the last period, the company was "Highland Paperweights Ltd", but the labels stated "Highland Paper Weight" ... with "paper" and "weight" as separate words. Does that mean anything? Maybe not!

My reply to Nigel explaining about yesterdays lost post has gone along with Nigels....

Bad news

The mention of "trained staff" suggests pre-1975? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also not sure about the typo possibility - personally I'm more inclined to 'artistic licence' particularly if the material was sponsored by Paul Jokelson and possibly aimed at the American market - I'm not trying to wind up our American cousins, but the "53 years" of heritage would help to build the Ysart-brand 'stateside' 

Thank to Frank and Kevin for sorting out the links - I'm a novice at this sort of thing!!!!

I would not worry about it. Clearly something is not right, but speculation is all that is left as both Jokelson and Paul are dead - and speculation goes nowhere.
