Hi Ken.  Can you post some larger images please?  The thumbnails are too small to help with ID.

Hey Alan--I tried enlarging but the pics got all fuzzy--my poor computer skills--- the weights is on Ebay now under Perthshire for sale. Doesn't look like any I've seen--they are asking $195.
Also Alan--send me pic etc on that Perthshire fruit you mentioned-----------Ken

Hi Ken.

The eBay item number is 390601237890.  It looks nothing like a Perthshire product to me, and Martha Henry is a known Canadian glass artist.

I suspect a Perthshire label fell off a paperweight, and was re-attached to the wrong one ( but it might be less clear cut than that...).
