I have never seen an OE antique weight with that heart canes!
I presume, that is very seldom.
Is that true?

Are you posting questions on weights you list?  The last question you posted was on a weight that was currently running and posted by the same seller.  I think most people are unlikely to answer questions on a weight that is currently listed. 

PS... not accusing, just asking, as most people wait until an auction is over until asking questions.

Hi Mildawg

I think the seller and questioner are different people (I have corresponded with both, and met the seller several times...).  Anyway, I think heart canes are rare in Old English weights, but not unknown. My feeling is that it is probably a Richardson paperweight, but I am not 100% certain.

I apologize.
I think your assumptions are very exaggerated and silly.
I live in Germany.
I like to buy in my country, because the shipping costs are not so high.
The sellers are reputable and well known in my opinion.
I've bought about 80 paperweights there.
Because I am not an expert, I think it is legitimate here in the GMB to ask my questions, regardless of which vendor are the objects.
Furthermore:
I understand the GMB as a help for me to go shopping the paperweights.
I think this is also common.
Therefore I do not understand your polemical submissions.

Hello Alan.
Thanks for your information.
It is a help for shopping.

Wow, what goes around comes around.  I purchased that weight at the CS&S Paperweight Mail Order Auction (in Rhode Island) back in in 1995.  It was listed at the time as antique Whitefriars, but I never did figure out who made it.  I sold it to a US collector (not this seller) in 2011.  It still has my stock number 231.  It is definitely the same paperweight.

for some reason paperweights go for a lot more in Germany than over here
