Title: Fake Ysart Paperweight
Post by: tonysherwin on May 21, 2013, 05:47:00 AM: I have what i beleive to be a fake Ysart paperweight circ 1988-90. It is a well made dragonfly weight with lataccino wings on a blue and white ground. Can someone please tell me what would be a fair price to ask for this weight.

Hi Tony

The GMB does not post values, but if you send me a message via my website I will give you my thoughts on the latter.

Post by: mjr on May 23, 2013, 08:34:14 AM: Yes - photo would be most interesting. As to value - Alan is correct about valuations and GMB, but I would suggest that you search on eBay as a number of fake Ysart weights have been listed on there recently which may give a guidance. As you will probably be aware, the fake Ysarts are collectible in themselves.

Post by: millarart on May 23, 2013, 10:43:47 AM: yeah i did see it, but if you copy and paste a link on here it will be easier and give you more watchers who may like to bid on your weight, as said before even the fakes have a following by collectors
