Description

The listing, Vintage "4 Corners" Paperweight has ended.

1960's paperweight from the four-corners area - black and gold

Lucite encasing 6 small and 1 larger chunks of fool's gold (surely it can't be real gold!). Base of the piece measures approximately 2-3/4 inches across - top is about 1-3/4 across; 8-1/2 inches around the base. A little over 1-1/2 inches tall. Black felt bottom.

Top has a gold "X" sectioning with each section labeled with a state: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. All markings are embedded, nothing that can scratch off.

Excellent condition - very few scratches are visible to the naked eye. I was surprised that close up photography showed any at all (please see pictures). Side view shows some lint from cleaning - no matter how hard I tried, I could not get it all off to the camera's satisfaction.

All Listia rules apply; free shipping in the United States - buyer pays actual shipping outside the US. Verified address only, please.

Thanks for looking and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Fanned back. Glad you like it - I got it on vacation with my grandparents back in 1968. It's very eye catching!

This is really cool! The 4 corners is one of the most beautiful areas to vacation. Good luck :)

Thanks for your kind comment. Yes the area is so beautiful!

I don't think they make this style paperweight anymore - it is really striking. I'm sure the fools gold inside is local to the 4-corners region. LOL - I don't think they had any "made in China" souvenirs back in 1968, either.
