Title: Identification of RC stamped paperweight
Post by: chocolatedog on October 17, 2007, 11:38:37 PM

I am looking for information about a glass blower or studio which signs its works with a RC embossed on the bottom. I have attached a picture. My email is <removed by moderator in line with board guidelines>
Thanks.

Andy Dohan's recent revision to his Paperweight Signature Canes book (see this message  (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,16644.0.html) in Glass Market Place) notes "RC" in a list of "pontil stamps" for: Robert "Bob" Cosner. No other details are given and I know of no other info on that maker.

If you have access to the Gary & Marge McClenahan newsletters with the alphabetical listing of PW artists, there will be an entry there with limited additional information.

Thanks for all the reposnses. I'm new to this area. Where do I find the McClenahan's newsletter list?

These were a series of newsletters issued over a multi year time frame that ended at least five years ago, and probably longer than that. I looked for my copy but I couoldn't find it. (If you saw where I keep my PW library - you would understand.) Try contacting "photo" on ebay - he is Gary McClanahan.

I have the newsletter, but don't see any entries for Cosner with the "C"'s.
