Allan Scott 'Deacons' Dahlia paperweight?
Leni:
Hi Frank (& Kevin),
Having stated catagorically in another thread that I had just acquired a Dahlia paperweight identical to the one shown on your page about Allan Scott, Frank, I thought I had better check if in fact I am right! :oops:
The thing which made me make my first enthusiastic identification was the picture, which seems indeed to be indentical. However, there is no identifying J cane of any sort in my weight. Did all 'J' (or 'Jay') Glass weights have canes with J or A or both?
To help, I have taken a couple of pics of the weight. I was going to email them to Allan Scott via his website, but he seems to have removed the email link.

Please can you tell me if you think mine really is a genuine Allan Scott Deacons Dahlia? Thanks :?

Leni,
The weight is certainly a "match" to the one in Frank's pages, listed as "Jay" glass 1982. As the photos are copyrighted to Allan Scott, I take it that the info about it being a "Jay" weight would be ok.
But ... as far as I am aware all "Jay" weights had a "J" cane!
Although the end of John Deacons' "Jay" Glass period was early 83, the only lists of J weights I have seen (in John Simmonds book Paperweights From Great Britain 1930-2000) ends at 1981, so info on the Dahlia weight is not given.
Looks like conact with Allan Scott, one way or another, (or maybe John Deacons) will be the only way to find out anout this unsigned "Jay" weight

I have asked Allan to visit this thread when gets a chance.
