Topic: Large Old English Paperweight

[mhgcgolfclub]

A very large Old English paperweight, I thought it might be Walsh Walsh.

The canes seem to be set out very messy, but some of them look to be quite complex. The paperweight is a bit marked on the top so not able to take a very good picture. There is also a strange wear mark around the center which made me think it may have been the bottom of an inkwell.
Diameter 4.5"
Height 2.5"
Weight 1475gm

Any other info would be much appreciated.

Thanks Roy

Hi Roy.  I agree it might be the bottom of an inkwell, and that 'messy' suggests Walsh Walsh or Arculus.  Some of the individual canes appear to have small'window canes' at their centres (a rough pattern of four squares), which would strongly suggest Walsh Walsh or Arculus.
