Paperweight

Feeling a bit miffed as I've just been outbid on a paperweight on eBay, the selling price was much higher than my bid so I've obviously misjudged the market, perhaps it was a rare example.

It is said one should not buy anything unless it is useful or beautiful, the paperweights I buy are both.

I have been collecting since 1967, especially modestly priced ones from the Scottish glassmakers, this is one of my favourites.
