Hi, welcome to the GMB.

Personally I am not familiar with this type of weight, or the style of signature / date. However, to me, the script looks like ... "L. O. - 138 - 5. 74" (or perhaps "135" in the middle).

Hopefully somebody will be come along soon who recognises this.

It looks like it was engraved by someone who is not used to engraving. It looks 'crunchy'. The texture of that signature is more like what I see in fake signatures like a Murano scratched signed 'baccarat'.

Maybe it's by a student just learning to make paperweights.
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.
