Topic: do you recognise any of these?

[haggishunter]

Hi there, i was wondering if anyone could help me identify these paperweights i bought a while back. I purchased them at a flea market and now sadly have to part with them.

Hi,

I think that the first one is a modern Chinese weight.
I am baffled by the second (it says Scottish to me but I have never seen anything quite like it before), so better let other collectors identify that one.
The third one is a Caithness glass weight second quality.

Is the second one a Perthshire,maybe?

Hi Sophie, and thanks for your reply. The second one is very strange, i will show you a pic of the base. The third one i thought was Caithness but needed some reassurance. and i didnt understand the marking. But i take it thats what tells you its second quality.

Is the second one a Perthshire,maybe?

Maybe lol. Ive never came across another like it.

The shape reminded me of this Perthshire....

Very similar, ive never saw another like this until now. Does it have a clear spot on the bottom showing the inside? Its like the colour is a coating on the inside, and when you look through the base you can see inside through a small hole in the coating.

Yup,think that's a Perthshire......

Cheers very much Keith. I think that sorts that one out. Do you know the values of these paperweights?

[keith]

Not something I go into,Perthshire like Caithness can range from £10-£15 to hundreds,just grab what bargains I can,

No probs, thanks again for your help Keith.
