These canes are all from actual Black and Silver Pirelli labeled Vasart paperweights. It is presently assumed that 1956 was the only year in which these Pirelli labels were used although they may have been used for a few years from 1956. While these labeled weights can somewhat be assumed to be from circa 1956 it does not mean that these particular canes were actually made in 1956. They could well have been made in earlier years and appropriate notations will be made on those canes appearing in earlier period weights when found. Thanks to Private Collectors this cane album is expanding to cover more of these period canes. According to Dave Moir who started with Vasart in 1953 Vasart sold paperweights and other glassware to Pirelli and Pirelli labels were then placed on these items. Dave can not remember ever having seen or had a Pirelli label at Vasart.
