Stuart Brothers, Philadelphia Blank Book Ledgers Antique Advertising Paperweight porcelain bowl with tents behind them

with tents behind them

It appears to me sewn of a sort of plum colored silk with wool lining with black fabric

Really a charming piece in terrific shape--useful still as a string holder

) A perfect gift for a young star-gazer

The head is attached to the interior of the neck by a thin wire

Stuart Brothers, Philadelphia Blank Book Ledgers Antique Advertising Paperweight porcelain bowl with tents behind themCan'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
