Vasart Paperweight?

Post by lyndhurst44 on Sun Jun 13, 2010 11:00 pm

Hi,
I purchased this paperweight at a bootsale this morning thinking that it was probably by Strathearn. Later when I had escaped the crouds I noticed there was a single red cane that carried the figures that look like v59. Would that suggest theat the paperweight was actully made by Vasart?
Thanks,
Bryn

Hi Davee,
it does look like v to me but I think the numbers could be 65 not 59. I'm away from home at.the moment but I will add a close up photo of the cane later today.
Cheers,
Bryn

Base pix always help, but you've got there without.
