    Hello everyone!!
    These have been sitting atop my desk for quite sometime and I thought it was about time I posted them. These are sperm whale paperweights from the 1940's or 1950's. They're made of lead and quite heavy for their size. They sit atop pegs on wooden base. I've seen many many sets of these over the years and sellers tend to ask a small fortune for these. I landed these in an auction for an incredible price. The whales each measure 4" long and weigh 7.5oz each. The base is 5 1/4" ling and 3 1/2" wide.

    Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!

    Scott
