Hi, and welcome to the gmb! :)
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your partner's Gran.
There is a whole load of techie info here:
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/board,22.0.html
about how to post images directly to the board. You'll just have to find the correct set of instructions for your own system and whatever programmes you have on it.
Can we ask you please to photograph each weight seperately and give it its own thread?
Include a clear image of the base, as well as the top and side views and give each thread a title that describes it a litle bit.
That way, all our records can be kept straight and properly illustrated for the future.
I'm afraid a lot of us won't go to photobucket - it's resulted in our pcs getting in a right mess, and images can disappear at a later date, leaving a discussion and identification without any illustration.
There are a whole load of serious paperwight collectors here who really know their stuff and I'm sure will be able to help you.

Hi
I think they are all mid 20th century Murano paperweights. A little bit better than charity shop material, but nothing spectacular.

Yep. I just got a popup asking me to install what is obvious malware.

I won't even click on it to allow that to happen, just in case something sneaks in. :o
I've got a load of pics stored there, that I can't/won't access any more.
