Millifiori Paperweight ID help please. ID = Strathearn
« on: November 22, 2015, 07:27:55 PM »
My Dad wants to sell some of his paperweight collection to raise some money to buy a mobility scooter for my mum.  He has asked me to "fleabay" them for him but unfortunately I can't ID this one which might help get a reasonable price for it.  Have had a look around and paperweights are a minefield.    Could anyone help me please, many thanks

Hi.  Agreed - a typical Strathearn spoke.

More bad news I'm afraid. Strathearn made paperweights by the lorry load for the tourist trade so there are loads around and being so common they do not sell well. Go into the search box in Ebay and type in paperweight strathearn and see how many appear.
Good luck with your very worthwhile fundraising
Dave
