Leni:
Wow! :shock: Nice! :D Well worth 99cents IMNSHO! :roll:
Unlike some people :P :wink: I feel these sort of weights, which I think are often considered 'beneath' the attention of 'real' collectors, are well worth collecting, purely for aesthetic reasons.
In other words, just because they're pretty! :lol:

jemimamoon:
I totally agree Leni. That is the reason I bought them.
Thanks

Umm...I agree too. A collection of anything always looks great as a group.
As I thought that thought :? I suddenly wondered how paperweight fanciers display their pieces? :idea: I had this mental image of tiny shelves made to fit paperweights, with each weight tilted attractively and lit from the back with a little LED type bulb...I can almost see it! Wow! That would be a FABULOUS room feature, wouldn't it?
<wipes dribble from lips>
I might patent this idea! :D [/i]
Frank:
The largest collections have seen just spread every where, on shelves, in cabinets. Many on angled stands, others on their butts and some on lit bases.
Others have specially built display cabinets, I recall one collector that had all the displays made by Makepeace and they were works of art themselves - I found myself more interested in the woodwork than the weights.
