manddrakes Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I bought this paperweight and was wondering if anyone knows the maker? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Moving this to the main area to get more eyes. Might try a paperweight forum if we come up empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 You might ask Patricia. I assume that is who you bought it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBlock Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 press-paper (missing the accent marks) is French for paperweight. The weight is not French. The color of the frit indicates the weight is Bohemian, Silesian or Czech (that general area). Early 1900s looks like the correct date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
