Hi Nick,
             Yes, plain domed. Sorry about the language but again, Whitefriars are always refering to "cuts" as their "cutting" department was so significant. Different to other paperweight makers as their background was so much into mainstrean glass and "cut and engraved" glassware. No other paperweight maker had such a range of "cuts". I'm also looking for a P41 which is a "candy twist" style weight but in a "cut" which has side and top facets or windows and also "ball cuts" or small round windows around the top. There was one in the USA last week but I lost out after allowing for postage and the dreaded VAT, etc. It went for the equivalent of £380 back in the UK. Maybe I should have splashed out anyway.

You should have a copy of Brian's guide!! At the risk of getting moved again(!!!), he can still let you have one in pdf form for £2 plus £10 to charity. Let me know if you want me to arrange it.

Tony

Hi Tony

Thanks for the explanation, I'll keep an eye out for any of the weights you mentioned, only Whitefriars one I have currently is 1978 anniversary of the Queens Coronation, having just sold my Partridge ina Pear Tree.

A pdf copy of the guide would be good, perhaps you can message me with details.

Kinds regards
Nick
