Title: Baccarat ? French ?
Post by: tropdevin on April 13, 2009, 07:28:02 AM

I am struggling to see why this weight (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5336261829&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=280333250383&item=280333250383) is attributed to France, let alone to Baccarat. I would have thought there were many possibilities for a simple design like that. Does the seller think it is a rock ground?

Seller is based in Bournemouth which is probably the closest this weight has ever been to France ;)

Looks like an Indian-type weight - although the colourway is better than the usual red/white/yellows....

At least it isnt priced unreasonably, but the description is wildly misleading....
