Stuart Brothers, Philadelphia Blank Book Ledgers Antique Advertising Paperweight penny paperweight graphic decoration

graphic decoration

which I think at full scale would make perfect museum seating

I'm drawn to Inuit pieces that hold multiple gestures or states of being in balance

with the basket woven of sweet grass on a naturally green dyed splint ash structure and the pin cushion a rosy pink velvet

The head itself is painted a good dark green

Stuart Brothers, Philadelphia Blank Book Ledgers Antique Advertising Paperweight penny paperweight graphic decorationCan't resist a nice old ledger, in hand or as a graphic on an an old paperweight! I've been paying some attention to old advertising paperweights of late, a nice thing to collect I think, especially when featuring iconic sorts of period products. And what a beauty of a big red "blank book." Advertising Stuart Bros. Company of Philadephia, 412 14 Market Street, and produced by Brams Paperweight Co, Pittsburgh, 1892. 4" x 2 5 8" x 1". Very good antique
