THis paperweight is aqua glass measuring approximately 3 1/4 " wide by 2 " tall. It was rather hard to photograph the embossing. Embossing in a circle reads Gayner Glass Works Salem, NJ within a 3/4 " recessed center. It has a 1/4 " chip on side below Salem, scratches, and a few i guess you call them fisheye bb dings. Gayner paperweight are hard to come by. But of those, I have seen significantlly more Gayner Glass paperweights with the embossed bottle. I have only seen one other paperweight like this one, also in a similar condition. It may have been used as a door stop. This is an extremely old and seldom seen paperweight.
