Topic: paperweight ? signed

[kieran]

Hi, l think this is a paperweight
its 5 inches wide, 3 inches high
hard to make out the the signature
but it looks like m'arson
its very hard to photograph

I suggest you try to take a photo using a shallow angle to eliminate the internal patterns in the glass.  See http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,35231.0.html reply #9 where I have used that technique on two of the three photos.   At present I can't make out any of the signature.  Would love to help if possible.

Hi Kieran,  it also helps sometimes to rub talcum powder into the signature to help it show up better.  It washes out easily and doesn't harm the glass.
