The paperweight with the pale orange outer canes sold by Boisgirard as Grenelle in 2021, that has cane links to the other three in what I think is a set including mine, was previouly sold in 2015 by Boisgirard as Clichy (Clichy Appert?):

Re the following:
5) 6) 7) and 8 )
I have looked at these red scrambles again and I can't see a link between them and the First 1- 4 above.  I think the roses are different


9) There is one more that may have similar rose canes and contains green tubey cane groups  however I am not entirely certain the inner centres would squash to a rectangular shape if squashed so I cannot be sure this is a link

This brown and white one has a similarity in the inner 3 circles of stars in terms of number of stars per circle:

There also may be the right colour green in the frit in the base as there seems to be a mossy colour green and also a bluer grass green.  The green in the First 1-4 which are linked by canes is a grass green. 

So in summary I think there are only 4 that can definitely be linked.

Bonhams sold another two with red roses/red in them that are different to the 4 with lots of red I've seen as discussed above, so that makes 6 of the ones with red roses/heavy on red canes in total.  It's easy to see the rose in this link to the Bonhams 2 and I don't think it's the same as the roses in my weight, so that also supports my comment above, i.e. taking them out of the comparison with the group of 4  weights including mine:

Therefore my summary of weights with links to mine remains as quoted - I can only see 4 which are linked by cane matches including mine, in this group:

1) - Mine

2) PWTs scramble with central large cane - link to rose cane and other canes
