Title: Engraved fish paperweight signature - ID = Jim Johnsson, Royal Krona
Post by: brucebanner on August 19, 2014, 06:09:51 PM

Can anyone help with this one please.  I think the signature says Krona and i'm wondering if this is a Mats johasson paperweight it's signed J J?, i thought this would be an easy find on the internet but i can not find a lot.

It's 4 1/2 inches in height and looks brand new with no wear so i'm not even sure of age.

Jim Johnsson  who was a freelance engraver at the Royal Krona group - I have the same blank engraved by him with a polar bear from Åseda which joined the royal Krona Group in 1975 see: http://www.jimjohnsson.com/historik/

Might as well have his web address: http://www.jimjohnsson.com  ;)

Might be worth contacting him if you want it dated precisely
