Title: Wanted: Collector / Photographer in Northamptonshire UK
Post by: Wuff on February 26, 2009, 11:54:10 AM

Right now there are two Caithness Royal Mint paperweights on offer on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320343816127 (http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320343816127)
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320343831347 (http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320343831347)
Neither is listed in the Charlton book - but the seller has given Scotlandglass permission to use her images in our online Caithness catalogue. Unfortunately the images are rather poor.

Is there a list member living in Northamptonshire - with a camera - and at least some experience in taking photographs of paperweights? If this applies to you - would you be willing to visit the seller to take a few better images? Don't know the exact address - but will find out if someone offers help.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards - Wolf

Wuff, I suggest you post this in Glass as well because not everyone looks in at paperweights

I have moved this into Glass (from Paperweights) as suggested in the hope that it may get a wider coverage.

However, please note that the items being auctioned have only 2 days to run and therefore may not be in Northants much longer.

If they are still around then I could photograph them this weekend possibly?  I suspect it will be too late but let me know
