Title: selkirk glass paperweight help
Post by: millarart on October 27, 2013, 04:41:15 PM

Hi, I have a Selkirk glass paperweight which is signed on the base Selkirk glass Scotland, then its the name of the weight but I can not make it out, im sure the first part says fire, then after that I cant make out the rest of the word, also has 1994, I shall add a picture as soon as I can but im hoping that someone might know of a Selkirk weight with fire as part of the name

There are (at least) 9 Selkirk weights starting with "Fire...". If manufactured 1994 and unlimited (you don't mention an edition number) it will most likely be Firecracker, shown in the catalogues from 1992 until 2005. It would be about 6.5 cm diameter.
