About the Item

A fine antique scramble paperweight. With an entertaining collector's label to the base that reads 'Sandwich Junk Wt.'. That collector thought it was a Boston Sandwich weight. We're unsure if this is American or French. So, Baccarat, Saint Louis, or New England Glass Co......? In any case, a lovely miniature scramble paperweight! Date: Mid to Late 19th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall fair, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: There is a chip to the side wall, fleabites minor chipping to the dome extensive fritting around the foot (that we think is from 'in the making'). Otherwise, there are some fine light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Maker: Attributed to Sandwich, NECG, St. Louis, or Baccarat. Measurements: Diameter: ca. 45 mm Height: ca. 26 mm Items purchased from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.
