Topic: Large weight, intersecting through holes ID = Karlin Rushbrooke

[David E]

I am hoping someone can identify this rather strange weight. It has two holes that go straight through the centre, which intersect in the centre. Does that make sense?

The inclusions are yellow and grey-purple trails, with a central spiralled orange ribbon.

Any help much appreciated

Hi David, your paperweight is by Karlin Rushbrooke. i have searched the internet for his paperweights but can't find any. i don't think he has his own website but there are some websites that have some of his glass. a quick search will find them. here are a couple of pics of my paperweight for comparison.





kindest regards theglassnut...

As an update, there is also a date engraved on the side, if this helps: 11/1979
