Title: Strathearn tall red flower weight - Official Name (Design)?
Post by: wrightoutlook on October 03, 2006, 07:08:15 PM: This Strathearn tall red flower paperweight probably has an official name. Does anyone know what Strathearn would have called it?

Although mine has the S cane, a second cane is faulty and does not show a date, but I understand the second cane should have a year of manufacture date such as the number 72 in it. Is this correct? Were these Strathearns dated? Are all of them dated 72 or are there 70s, 71s, and 73s - and possibly other years? Thanks.

Post by: wrightoutlook on October 03, 2006, 07:22:09 PM: Oh well, P6 Flower it is, Frank. Were they dated? Or am I imagining reading something about that somewhere? As I wrote above, mine has the S, but a blob of a second potential cane. Was that the would-be dated cane? Thanks.

Post by: Lily of the Valley on October 03, 2006, 08:44:18 PM: I also have a "tall red" Strathearn flower paperweight similar to yours, Wrightoutlook. The cane in mine can be seen only from the base and contains S79 in it. I see no other canes anywhere. The site Frank recommended has an earlier tall flower weight in which there is both an "S" cane as well as a separate date cane.

It's nice to know more .... Lily :)
Title: good to know
Post by: wrightoutlook on October 04, 2006, 01:15:18 AM: Thanks Lily. That's good to know. It's interesting that there's a single S (plus date) cane. As I noted, my cane has the S and the second potential cane is a blob. I wonder if the differing cane styles has something to do with different workers or front office decisions.

I have just bought a weight with an "S77" cane in the base. Took about 2 minutes of searching to find this post and then scoot over to Richards site to find this pic:

What would one do without a resourch like this!
Thanks to one and all!

Were all of these marked with either a signature or a signature and a date cane. What I am trying to ask is if you find one with a sticker but no sig or date or combination is it best to stear clear?
No names, no pack drill ;)
Thanks,

Post by: Frank on July 26, 2007, 04:22:55 PM: Stickers are fine, as is no sticker, you just need to learn to tell them apart from the clones.

Post by: stellar.artois on July 28, 2007, 02:44:32 AM: There was a red one on ebay.com last year, US seller mistakenly had it listed as 'Old England' with a buy now of £465 :o

I thought that was rather 'optimistic' :D :D
