Antique St Louis tricouleur

I was surprised when this item was first listed, and I had hopes of adding a rare antique to my collection for a bargain price.  But it has gone way beyond my budget.

Ditto. But aside from rarity, these weights don't have a lot going for them from an artistic standpoint.

Well, I'm not so sure about that, Andy. I much prefer these from an aesthetic viewpoint to many of the Bacchus and other Old English concentrics. :)

It's a very tidy and simple design. I prefer it to 'wobbly' canes.
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.
