GEC Glass Paperweights

Post by 1967redrider »

Have you guys seen these? I actually picked up two for the office. Since COVID, I have been cracking my window each morning to keep the air circulating and sometimes my papers blow off my desk.

This seems like a better solution than using my tape dispenser or a stapler.

I've seen them awhile back and Frank's has a bunch listed lately
They do look nice a little pricey for what I want it for what's the weight I never see that listed
I'm still thinking of getting one for my leather work bench when I need a cleaner weight then my metal one

They are very cool paperweights John. I like the look of that green, rectangular one that comes up first. (I agree, they are a bit pricey though.)

I picked up the two posted above, couldn't get the other picture of the one you like to post using my laptop last night. I hope they are of a decent weight.

I will update this thread with their weight once they arrive. ::tu::

I really like that first one

What isn’t pricey these days? I had to buy a car battery today.

Arrived and taking up residency on my desk in the office. Since Covid, I have been keeping my window cracked about 5", these will free up my stapler and tape dispenser. Seems like they're both the perfect size and weight for the job.

Those look very cool. But I do not need one, since most of my GEC knives are essentially paperweights. I actually use one. The others just sit on my desk being admired. Maybe I could have those knives encased in blocks of clear plastic ...

Mel, that sounds a little too permanent for my liking. ::mdm::
