The polished base is in excellent condition it doesnt appear this paperweight was ever displayed. The only issue we could determine does not relate to the paperweight itself but to, of all things, the box. This paperweight was one of a collection of several Orient & Flume paperweights and at some time, the box lid for this particular paperweight was switched with the box lid for another paperweight. Written on the side of this box lid is the description for another paperweight – one made in 1980. Just wanted to be upfront. Of course, it does not affect the condition of the paperweight itself.
