Stuart Brothers, Philadelphia Blank Book Ledgers Antique Advertising Paperweight porcelain bowl with tents behind them

with tents behind them

Overall very lovely though

Hardback with leather spine and corners

and then blue dabs on white for the sea it sails upon

Really a charming piece in terrific shape--useful still as a string holder

Stuart Brothers, Philadelphia Blank Book Ledgers Antique Advertising Paperweight porcelain bowl with tents behind themCan't resist a nice old ledger, in hand or as a graphic on an an old paperweight! I've been paying some attention to old advertising paperweights of late, a nice thing to collect I think, especially when featuring iconic sorts of period products. And what a beauty of a big red "blank book." Advertising Stuart Bros. Company of Philadephia, 412 14 Market Street, and produced by Brams Paperweight Co, Pittsburgh, 1892. 4" x 2 5 8" x 1". Very good antique
