This item WAS NOT SOLD. Auction date was 2003 Apr 25 @ 16:00UTC-08:00 : PST/AKDT
Very rare antique Gillinder concentric millefiori paperweight, with a central "EB" complex signature cane, encircled by five rings of assorted red, white, and blue canes, including a border ring of "EB" signature canes. The "EB" signature was probably for Edwin Bennett, who was Gillinder's one-time partner. "It is difficult enough to find a Gillinder weight, let alone a signed one, mainly because Gillinder signature canes are considered nonexistent. But a newly discovered miniature weight containing an "EB" cane may be just that (see Fig. 32.1, p. 97). During 1863-1867, William Gillinder was associated with Edwin Bennett and operated under the name Gillinder & Bennett." -The Dictionary of Paperweight Signature Canes. Diameter 3 1/16". $2000-3000
