Kevin,,,

On the weights n things web site to look at previous sales look at a weight which they have sold on the right hand side of the picture it should have a PDF icon which you can click on my Adobe 6.0 reads it ok.

The one they sold was unsigned, i'm just glad I have come on here and found out some good info about this weight. I have a bit more understanding now of these weights, 3 day's ago I was totally clueless I could of sold it on for £20 to someone who knew what it is actually worth and they would of got a bargain.

Thanks for all your replies, I can understand why people collect these weights some are extremely eye catching and beautiful to look at.  Shame air con was invented you would probaly see a lot more of these in the office on a hot day with the windows open.  :hi:

That's it!! All paperweight collectors to lobby the government to ban air con (not needed in the UK anyway :thup:) saving fuel, and generating more demand from paperweight makers to hold down those piles of papers. Oh, also need a law to insist that all emails have to be printed in triplicate  as well. :24:
The Civil Service should have come up with this years ago, Mr T.

Simples.  :smg:

Spencer, thanks for the info on the pdf file for those archive weights. And yes, the link worked for me.

Next time I see them, I will have to ask Bernd & Ian if the prices in the pdf files are the actual sale price or the original sales price - which may not have been realised.

You can see two unsigned Riedel weights that are currently for sale on William Pitt's US web-site, listed as 'Haida region' under Antique Bohemian; one of them is priced at $600 and the other $700.
