Bath aqua weight
« on: March 05, 2008, 02:35:54 PM »
Hi All
        This is one of the mixed bunch of weights i purchased today, in a job lot, it is signed on the base Bath 2003, so i presume thats the year.
But seeing as i know nowt about Paperweights can any one say whm made this and the area please i have found out that some sort of copper is used to make the swirl inside, am i right in saying that?
                                                                         Regards
                                                                         steve

Must be loyal subject's who did not dare decline the invitation  ;)

Was this weight made as a demonstration, a product, or by one of the people doing the £55 3-hour course in making a paperweight!
