Post by: Catisfaction on August 23, 2006, 03:06:43 AM

My sister recently got these 4 Paperweights. None are marked, Can anyone suggest makers?
It's ok to tell me if they're chinese junk.... we need to learn these things ;)

Pictures of the bases would help.  They may indeed be Chinese, but not all junk, IMNSHO  :wink:   I have an Alastair Macintosh very similar to the first one.

Hi Leni, All the bases are ground and polished

Probably not Chinese then, I'd say!  Chinese, while not the only ones with matt bases, do tend not to polish!
