Title: possible 19th century paperweights
Post by: joewol on January 28, 2013, 05:08:52 PM: Hi guys
I have to different paperweights that maybe 19th century, the first is quite plane with a bed of multi coloured frit glass and a hollowed out base?,the second i think is an end of day scramble weight with lots of intresting canes on a bed of crushed glass and a slightly oval base, the problem is i cant get the pics to upload they seem to be to large! is their an idiot proof way i can get them uploaded for people to view?
Thanks
Joe

Mod: Joe's second weight is now in a thread of its own (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,51191.msg290154.html#msg290154).

open a photo in paint,
at the top of the page go to image,
then resize then the top two % change from 100% to 12% in both horizontal and vertical.
if you want to keep the original photo size go to file at the top of the page and click on save as and change its name then save. this will keep the original and you will have a smaller photo for the web.
my original photo's are 4288 x 3216 pixles after resizing they are 515x386.
to check the size of your original right click go to properties then details if your photo's are smaller try a different %
hope this helps

I did have a look at negc but my impresssion was they seem to be more clear glass and latticino twists and id dismissed it as french but as i said i was guessing and i thankyou for your knowledge
There was one cane i was baffled with yellow outline bubblegum pink centre kinda pointy any thoughts?
Many thanks
Joe

Post by: paperweights on February 01, 2013, 03:45:12 AM: I agree with Alpha. The paperweight is a NEGC scramble. I've had enough in my collection to be sure.
