Ha ha. Nice one Sue, well found.
Actually I could leave it at it is, but I should have put a caveat in my comments ... and I was just coming back to correct it when you added your reply.
The caveat is:
... Bear in mind that Vasart fire polished some grounds in their last years prior to becoming Strathearn - but for those weights the canes will normally still be well proud of the ground.
And another point (about "canes proud of the ground") is ... many other weights from various makers may show "canes proud of the ground", not just Vasart ones.
A search with the Paperweights forum for "cane proud ground" will reveal many threads touching on these point.
