Unfortunatley I could not get to the auction for viewing or buying.

However, browsing the online catalogue I noted the Stankard weight with a rather low estimate (£100-150) which made a hammer price of £500. I would have been interested in that but would have needed to have handled it to guess at a true price.

Also of interest to me was the "Paul Yasart Hadland paperweight - H cane to base" estimated at £80-100 and having a hammer price of £50. I imagine that was a standard Harlerquin or perhaps Fountain design. It will interesting to see if it gets listed on eBay soon with a similar description, "Yasart" and "Hadland" :)

Also notable for the spelling was "Buggini" instead of "Buzzini" but that did not put off the buyer who recognised quality American work and paid £650 + premium and VAT (against an estimate of £200-400) for two boxed examples.

I think most of the weights seemed to sell at about their right price - unless there were some "sleepers" amongst them.
