Identifying Numerous Paperweights
« on: January 31, 2015, 06:35:03 PM »
Hello all,

I am new to this forum so would just like to say hello and I'd be extremely grateful if members could kindly offer some assistance.

I have several paperweights, and not knowing anything about them I thought I would try and see whether I could obtain any information on them. I have uploaded some pictures here: http://s87.photobucket.com/user/craft31/library/Paperweights

Any help would be fantastic and would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you very much indeed.

Welcome to the board. Unfortunately identifying souvenir paperweights such as these is almost impossible. Numerous glass manufacturers made such blanks but they won't have attached the pictures

People do collect them, but I don't think they have much value.
