Lynne, does it have a 76 cane?  I think they made a limited edition of these, and then there are unlimited versions.  Does the CG cane tie it to 76?  I know someone whos always wanted a 76 limited edition one!

Hi Ian, no I can't find one.  Just the CG and I nearly missed that, it is tilted towards the middle, and I actually saw it in the photograph rather than on the weight, then looked and found it.

Crazily, there was a label to the underside stating (from the dealer who put it into auction) that it was a 19th century Very Rare Bohemian Paperweight, with an exorbitant price tag to match!  Fortunately the bright glass and lack of much wear screamed "Not on Your Nelly"...

Thank you very much!
