This album shows many of the varied paperweight designs that Strathearn signed and dated over the years from 1965 to 1980. I've seen others that I don't have an example of yet, for example I've seen an S-73 Tropic weight indicating that Strathearn at least began making these Tropic P5 weights as early as 1973. The PP10 weight with a top and side facet and dated S-74 is only the second one I've seen in over 8 years. The P10 S-79 weight is not supposed to exist as Strathearn's brochures indicate that the P10 series was discontinued in May of 1978. The SP101 weight #4594 is a very rare weight in that it is etched signed on the base "Strathearn 1980 #4" but it also has an "S-79" center cane making it a rare double signed weight. I'm sure there are many more examples of Strathearn's signed and dated weights yet to be found.
DCP1969-4706P10-S69...Strathearn P10 "S69" large Limited Edition eight spoke cartwheel in a 1-2-3 design on a clear ground, 3.2" x 2.35" and 21 ozs. Flat cut polished base. Black Strathearn label. Signed and dated "S" and "69" canes. Note of interest, the "69" date cane in this weight was placed upside down, reads fine looking at the date cane from the base but backwards when looked at normally. acquired 03-07-06.
