The DeCora Import Company, based in New York, were the main imports of Whitefriars paperweights to the USA. Whitefriars closed in 1980. DeCora approached John Deacons to make a paperweight exclusively for them. John agreed and wondered what to call this new weight, he happened to glance at a map of Scotland and noticed the small island of St Kilda in the Hebrides so he called this new brand St Kilda and introduced the Stk cane. If you post a picture of the paperweight we might be able to help identify the maker.
