I've just acquired this very nice John Deacons weight, there seems to be very little info on him on the web. It has a signature cane in the base JD 1999. I have another weight and have seen others by him without canes, does this show it was a special/limited edition piece?
Can anyone point me at any reference work on his weights either online or in print?
many thanks

Hi Nick.
I don't know of any specific reference work that deals with your query, but I think the great majority of 'better quality' pieces have a date and signature cane. By better quality, I mean the lampwork weights, overlays etc, as opposed to the simple spoke and milleifori style pieces. You could always email JD and ask!

Thanks Alan, I haven't been able to find a website for him with his email address, is there a site or do you have his email?
Many thanks

Hi Nick
I have sent you an email with relevant information. Craig Deacons is a member of this board, by the way.
