Whitefriars, is it not?
« on: January 29, 2009, 02:08:08 PM »

Although the seller does not say so, this cylindrical paperweight looks like a Whitefriars design.  Does this particular shape have a design name?

Hi

They are not common, but there is another one on eBay at the moment (which we are selling under 'rosismum' ...!).

There's two for sale on eBay, anyway - and if push comes to shove and someone is disappointed and really wants one badly, I'll sell them mine from my collection! For a very fair price, of course....

I love that they said there isn't a WF cane in it, even though you can clearly see it in the 3rd pic........

Nice weight though.
