Simone:
I've got some really adorable butterflies, and one that loks like it's "raw" in the bubbled glass weight, because it's greyish, not been painted, although it has aventurine on the body... a strange one - and I also have a 1/1 Perthshire butterfly which is adorable, antique Baccarat, Steven Lundberg, Buzzini, Rick Ayotte, Caithness, Mayauel Ward, 2 more Perthshire butterflies, and quite a few unknown butterflies...  :)

When you run out of space though, you either have to buy a new house, or start limiting the collection...  :cry:  :?

KevinH:
Simone ... about your unknown butterfly weights ... why not post some pics here and we can see if we can Id them.

I notice that you do not say you have any Ysart butterflies. Perhaps some might be. Are any of yours like these from my own collection?

RAY:
i'm cutting down at the moment on buying weight's, but will buy them if there cheap, i have 4 or 5 caithness advertising weights one of which Allan Scott made the lampwork flower, i only paid £2 on ebay for it and only 150 made so these weights i think are a good investment

Hi Kev,

I'll post some of my unknown butterflies, but I'm sure I haven't got an Ysart, although I was bidding on one at Selmans Autumn auction and was outbid on it. So I got the Baccarat one instead, as well as a few other weights that I liked.

This is the Baccarat one I got.

and this is the Ysart one I was outbid on which has a lovely combination of colours.

Riki:
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Colin Terris and would like to extend my condolences to his family for their loss, he contributed much to the facinating world of Paperweights and will live on in the memory of collectors worlwide.
 

Hi Simone,
I love your Baccarat butterfly simone and keep looking for a Ysart one as there are still undiscovered treasure out there, :shock:  :shock:  :D  
 I found this one about 6 months ago, 8)
