Title: Antique Paperweight
Post by: mhgcgolfclub on June 15, 2010, 06:29:15 PM

Help to ID this old paperweight please which does have some chips and lots of wear, I thought it may be antique Bohemian ,hopefully someone will correct me.

It measures about 2.5" in diameter, the base is slightly concaved, there is also a slightly raised base rim

Thanks Roy

There's a complex cane in the 3rd picture that's intriguing to me...it has a center cane with a red detail, surrounded by alternating blue & white canes. The centers of those canes appear to have different symbols.  Is this true, or are they the same design, only distorted?

Thanks for the additional pictures.  I see now that the canes are not as complicated as I thought they might be.  Nice weight, though.  I'd love to have it in my collection!
