Yes a paperweight.
I have never seen Brass. I have never seen Aluminium (correct Spelling by the way)………mine are all silver-frosted iron.
Dealers got these as a gift during the wholesale sales process.
Other things were dress bling like cuff links and tiepins. Also playing cards……all to do with advertising of course though back then they were quality American made items.
I like the monogram glass sets as well…………there were two sets of 6 each the two styles…….anyone know of any others?
May as well show this particular shelf while here aye?
In no particular order………………
