GEC Glass Paperweights
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.

Re: GEC Glass Paperweights
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

Re: GEC Glass Paperweights
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.)

Re: GEC Glass Paperweights
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.

I really like that first one
What isn’t pricey these days? I had to buy a car battery today.

Re: GEC Glass Paperweights
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.

Re: GEC Glass Paperweights
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 ...

Re: GEC Glass Paperweights
Mel, that sounds a little too permanent for my liking.
