Bronze Advertising Paperweights

Ok.
I wouldn't say I've a large collection, but I've different bronze paperweights.
For example, I think this one is very rare.



I've only seen it once... Before purchasing.

Here is an example 2 half-ball feet.



Here is 4 half-ball feet.



Round paperweights traditionally have 3 half-ball feet.

I think that this is a bronze plaquette, if right call. Paperweights should be distinguished by their utility - these 'feet', which can be used to press down paper or documents (paper can also be pressed down with a brick, but we understand what we are talking about).
It's Whitehead and Hoag Company. I like the vignettes around the perimeter of this plaquette. The WHC had this maner before 1920.

You can see it here (it's from my collection)


or here (it's from the Internet).

very interesting indeed. I have never seen these before...

I expected to find information about the paperweight in this Bulletin, but no. Only an article about the anniversary. September, 1929.


I have it in my collection. Manufacturer - Metal Arts Company - Rochester New York (MACO). )))

This is a solid brass plaque or paperweight that was issued in 1926 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the first successful trip made in America by a steam locomotive - the "Stourbridge Lion," the first train engine of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, which was the earliest ancestor of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, that is still in operation today.For its size, this weighs an amazing 10 ounces! Dimensions are 2-1/2 inches wide, 4 inches long and a full 1/4 inch thick.One of the first railroads in the United States, the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company was originally chartered in 1823 to build and operate canals between New York City and the coal fields around Carbondale, Pennsylvania. The Stourbridge Lion was a railroad steam locomotive. It was the first to be operated in the United States, and one of the first locomotives to operate outside Britain. It takes its name from the lion's face painted on the front, and Stourbridge in England, where it was manufactured by the firm Foster, Rastrick and Company in 1829. The locomotive, obtained by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, was shipped to New York, where it was tested raised on blocks. It was then taken to Honesdale, Pennsylvania for testing on the company's newly built track.

most interesting. .. those are all really neat, & harken back to a bygone era ... interesting collectables...
