Title: Train Locomotive Paperweights
Post by: daveweight on November 23, 2008, 12:45:51 PM

There was quite a lot of interest in the old sulphide weight of an early locomotive I won on Ebay recently but I have just won another weight showing a locomotive and as we don't see many of these I thought I'd post it out of general interest. This was made by Tom Mossser who I believe was in Cambridge, Ohio. I have it at the back of my mind someone hand painted ceramic plates which he encased

Hi Dave

There was a lengthy discussion on Mosser weights see : - 

www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,20105.msg115134.html#msg115134

The white ceramic disks were painted by a Ray Bichard of Cambridge but
there was a lengthy debate as to whether some were silk screen printed.

A couple of ultra closeup shots of the coloured areas would be useful to
further the debate.

Best regards
