Caithness Whizz paperweight
« on: March 16, 2019, 01:50:04 PM »
I lived in Perth in the 1990s and used to visit the Caithness factory shop on Sundays and often came home with a purchase.
I'm now trying to catalogue these and need some help with this one.

I can't find it on the Scotland's glass site but I have found something on online sales sites. I can't manage to reduce the image to post on here       (unfortunately mobile phones like to increase the resolution of their photos, not reduce them)

Does anyone have a photo they can post or refer me to a site which will confirm the online sales data please

Many thanks

Found the pwt you mention in my book, can't post pictures due to boards regulations on copyright, the weight was designed by Alistair macintosh, issued in 1996, that's all I have sorry.
