Anyone care to share their thoughts on the two end weights?

The scramble on the left might be antique American, or Old English.  A close up of the canes might help - but canes tend to move around anyway, so that is not always a firm guide to who made a particular paperweight.

Thanks to both of you.  Dave your weight looks so much better with the dark background. Is this a common sulphide?  I don't believe I have seen it before.

Alan,  I will see what I can do with getting better pics.  My thought is Old English.  When you say antique America what factories falls into that category?  To me it just doesn't have the look of an NEGC or Sandwich, Gillinder maybe?

Hi Mildawg

I have seen one or two very pale antique American scrambles, with a few bits of blue and white ribbon, but the canes in this are quite loosely spaced compared to most American scrambles I have seen. I don't recall seeing a scramble that was definitely attributed to Gillinder, but maybe someone one GMB can help on that.  I would certainly not rule out Old English, but it would be nice to see the canes more clearly - if you can get better images that would be great.

And it would be even better still if you would be kind enough to post the images directly to the gmb, rather than to a link which may see the images vanish later on...  :)

Hi Mildawg
These encased flowers are not seen very often but a variety of them were made including a nice single rose, I am reluctant to say they are rare but I bought mine in Venice and saw a few others in the shop

Some additional pics.  The canes are so delicate. Measures 3 inches in diameter and 1-3/4 inches tall. I have not weighed it, but seems heavy for the size.
