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. Please e-mail at Webmaster@Check-Six.com |

The central thesis of my posting is production paperweights — more commonly know as "first chips" or the like. I am looking to enhance our collection of over 60 such displays.Examples of what is being sought can be found at here. Thanks again! |

Great collection and I love your online museum!I have two of the items on your "Wanted list" (Hubble flown solar cell and shavings from the Viking Lander). I'm not interested in parting with them, but I would be happy to share a photo for your museum to display until you find your own copy. The Hubble cells seem to come up at auction at least once a year. Pricy but very nice items for anyone's collections. Please email me if you would like the photos. |

I only place items in the online museum that I have physical possession of. Thanks for the offer of photos, though. I am way behind on adding items, but I got disheartened with the process when I learned that several outfits were "cut and pasting" my research and item histories into eBay and other listings without proper attribution or linking... |

Taking a moment to bump this somewhat dated ask... Or, as us pilots say, pressing 'Ident' on the plane's transponder. Thanks y'all! |
