Am actively seeking lucite paperweights for purchase and display in our online collection. Any paper weights containing historically valuable material are wanted - especially those relating to aviation or aerospace programs!

Any era, any program, any make or model, and any manufacturer!

Usually, these paperweights come in two forms: One form is, embedded in lucite, acrylic, or perspex, a curly piece of metal, a chip or shaving from the milling process usually for the first start of production of a aircraft. Most times, it will say "First Chips from the First F-22" or the like.

The other type is made of the alloy used to make the aircraft, like "this is a piece of the alloy used in making the B-52" or B-47. Generally about an inch thick, and about the size of a pack of cigarettes,

Please have digital photos or scans of items ready when inquiring.
