Title: Strathearn? ID = confirmed Strathearn
Post by: born slippy on April 28, 2016, 08:11:00 PM

I always think Strathearn when I find a paperweight with this wheel design but looking around the site it seems there are similar ones that are not Strathearn. So about time I try to learn more. Thank you all for your patience, this will be my last to id for a while. It is about 2 1/2" diameter.

Yes, it is a regular Strathearn item.

This design was probably made during all of their paperweight making years.
Main clues are "chunky" white (grey) twist canes and a fire polished base. However, both of those clues are not specific to Strathearn weights and those features are not always evident in their items.

For lots of info on Strathearn weights see Richard More's website I linked to in your Strathearn Aurora weight thread.
