Was down in Hawera a few weeks ago checking out what was coming up at the next auction and these small paperweights caught my eye.
On looking underneath one a saw the sticker which most had on them "Taranaki Contractors Conference 1977" and thought hmm 1977 Tony Kuepfer was operating at that time so sent him a picture and sure enough he said he was asked to make about 100 of them by the Taranki Tourism people.
With this knowledge I made sure I attended the next auction and got them. I have probably cornered the market as there was 20 of them.
The tall thin necked bottle I got from Tony in between seeing the auction preview and attending the auction. It was his last one and is about 400mm high.
