Good Morning,
Na, I think I'll hang onto it for a while and hope for an upturn in the market :twisted: :twisted: :wink: :lol:
I've scoured all the Caithness, Manson and any Scottish paperweight sites I can point my little mouse at and still can't find the little bleeder. Found some of the Scotia weights but not this one Ray. :evil:

RAY:
A for Arden Hill?
ALLAN:
Hi Bryn,
Ray is right it was made at Caithness and also it was made by William manson.He was working with Caithness back in the 80s when I joined them.He had an arrangement to make lampwork/millefiori weights and Caithness would market them.The weight is actually photographed upside down,it was to represent a burning scottish castle if I remember correctly.I will try and track down the exact name of it for you but it was so long ago I don't know if anyone will remember.I sometimes bump into Willie in town so if I remember I will ask him directly.
Allan

Wow! :D Thanks excellent and exciting news Allan.
That's a very nice offer to actually speak with the creater himself, it really gives me goosebumps. Fantastic, thank you so much.
Kindest regards,

RAY:
Allan what's the story with willy , did he make the weights in caithness for Arden hill scotia or somewhere else, as far as i know all scotia weights were unsigned and a lot contained green aventurine
