Stuart Brothers, Philadelphia Blank Book Ledgers Antique Advertising Paperweight porcelain bowl It appears to me sewnCan'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
