Readers - You ask for Paper weight photos - when the photos of paper weights available (now) at Blenko arrive I'll post. These are available at Kissin Kate's - Tim didn't say, they are vintage but I know they are - notice the silver foil BLenko sticker. Thanks to Tim of Kissin Kate's for these photos. hjh
Hello Hillary,
In an earlier blog I promised pictures of paperweights made in WV. We have paperweights from Blenko, Hamon and Gibson. Attached are photos of the vintage Blenko paperweights we have. The conical-shaped ones are Blenko catalog #68A. The colors are wheat, olive green and turquoise. The cylindrical one is catalog #68D shown in wheat. Blenko made several others in this era that were round (68B,C and D). Today, these sell anywhere from $20 to $50 depending on color and condition.
I will send the Hamon and Gibson pics in another email.
