Hi
I've had a member of the public ask if I can tell him anything about this
item (images attached).
He said in his email to me, "please find attached photos of the said
paperweight. It has dimensions of 10 cm across and 6.5 cm high. The clenched
fist holding a rod is made of brass and the base is of ornate cast
iron."
He'd like to know if it is indeed a paperweight, and if anything can be
said about it, such as rough date etc. I couldn't quite say
myself.
Thanks
Adam
