    Hello,
    I found these two paperweights in local estate sale.

    I wonder if they are St. Louis but I am not sure. Please take a look and let me know what you think?
    #1 Size 2.75" in 2" tall
    #2 Size 2.75" in 1.75" tall

    other than thinking they would be called a 'scramble' paperweight, I don't know who made them. Can you see a date and or initial cane anywhere?
    maybe @Ownedbybear or @thepaperweightcollection will know them:)

    They're millefiori scrambles, but the problem is so many factories made these. The only clue is usually the type/pattern of cane. Having said that, the second weight has what looks like a signature cane, bottom right hand quadrant.

    There might be signatures under those stickers

    Hm. I suspect the original owner labelled them, with a corresponding list.

    And looking again, I think that's the clue to the second one. Sandwich Glass.

    Yes--the 2nd one could be Sandwich Glass. @Ownedbybear -- I don't think that is a sig cane..but rather a distorted picture cane . Something in the back( of my somewhat confused ) mind...is telling me that "ring" on the bottom of #1 could be a hint to maker....

    @jingyel--now that you have photos of them " as is"...I think it is safe to remove all the labels and felt so you can get a better look. As @Ownedbybear said..the labels were probably previous owners inventory system and without their list..not much help. (except for the "sand" hint!)
