Nice to find a different colour could anyone help date it  from the labels maybe.
Appreciated Chris :sun:

A little more on labels in this thread: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,36236.0.html

Chris, your paperweight has the flame mark so it is likely not earlier than 1974, it doesn't have the black triangular label so it will be 78 or earlier. Narrowing down those few years any further is problematic.

Thanks John, plain lazy on my part I actually have the book and while you were posting found the exact pair of labels on a paperweight on page 135.
Not really lazy but loads of different stuff coming and going all the time and it does get my head in a spin trying to keep things as accurate as possible.

I was just about to suggest you got yourself a copy of the book, given you do acquire a lot of stuff for which it is relevant!
