Title: ID Help Request For Glass Paperweight
Post by: makhanrai on June 20, 2017, 02:41:50 PM

Hi All

Any help with these 2 Paperweight would be very much appreciated.

Canes are flush with ground.

Weights Measure 70mm Dia. & 52mm Height.

Pontil mark simply snapped off on the Blue Ground weight And Wheel Ground On the Dark Gnd Weight

Looks like very late Strathearn. Circa 1980 (if my memory serves well - which it hasn't always.)

Many Thanks for your thoughts Alpha, I am inclined to agree after been informed of a link via friendly associate by email which shows some experimental weights very similar to these by Strathearn. Sorted.

Hi Mac.  If you want 100% confirmation of the origin as Strathearn ask Dave Moir, who might well have made them.
