Title: Sinclair Johnson 1890 paperweight
Post by: PaulFitz on May 10, 2024, 06:28:09 AM

Hi,does anyone have any information on this 8.5cm diameter paperweight.
The design has been engraved on the bottom with the name & date on the top.
The six facets are concaved rather than ground flat.
I am struggling to find anything on the name at all.
Thanks,Paul

The weight looks Bohemian to my eye. The name is likely that of the person it was gifted to

Hi Christine,
regarding the signature i did think this might be a possibility after having no luck at all on the net.
Not knowing anything about Bohemian glass,could this be older than the date on it.
Cheers,Paul.
