Title: A mini weight
Post by: Leni on December 07, 2005, 10:23:09 AM: Another new weight arrived today. It's very small! :shock: Measures approx. 4cm in diameter.

I had no idea what I was getting with this one as the photo was very unclear, but the colours looked interesting, so I took a chance :roll: :lol:

This is what I got: http://tinypic.com/ibgyhk.jpg http://tinypic.com/ibgykp.jpg http://tinypic.com/ibgylf.jpg

So can anyone tell me exactly what I have got? :? The orange and turquoise look a bit Strathern-ey to me, but that's not my area, so I'm prepared to be completely wrong! :roll: :lol:

Second guess from side view ... Vasart
Third guess from base view ... early Vasart ('46 to '55)

A shortwave UV test would confirm if it's early or later.

Will you have your UV light at the Paperweight Exhibition at Olympia on Saturday 11th? If so I could just pop this little chap in my pocket :wink:
