Richard More (strathearn)  > Strathearn Paperweights > PP92 Millefiori Minature Top Facet only
This is the Strathearn PP92 minature weight. It is the third weight in the P9 minature first series. The second in the series is the PP9 which has a top facet and a side facet so the weight stands in a upright position (what strathearn called a portrait weight). This PP92 minature weight has a top facet only. I don't know yet in what years it was produced but it does not show up in any of the brochures that I have from 1974 to 1980 so for the time being I am going to classify this as from 1975 to 1980 and then make changes to this timeframe if and when I find out any additional information. While there is always the possibility that weights like this were faceted on top to repair damage that could not otherwise be repaired however, I think not because there are also a number of P8 medium to small spoke weights that I have seen and have examples of that also have only a top facet and that would be a lot of weights top faceted only just to repair damage. It is also quite possible that weights like this were intended to be PP9 with a top and side facet but for whatever reason were top faceted but then never finished. Therefore, I do believe that these are legitimate Strathearn weights. I just don't know the production timeframes yet.
