It's a unique way of anchoring down your important papers or correspondence in style. This Sam Sturgeon paperweight is signed 1990 and is numbered 070542. It has some intense colors. We believe this was made during Mr. Sturgeon's time at Lundberg Studios and is considered a rare example of his highly prized and very limited paperweight masterpieces.

According to the Worthpoint Web Site, "Sam Sturgeon is not a household name in paperweight making do to how extremely rare they are! Sam Sturgeon worked for Orient & Flume, and also Lundberg Studios in California back in the late 1980's. He is best known for being a master faceter of paperweights. If you would like a reference on Sam Sturgeon you can go to the Orient & Flume Website to find out more information on this wonderful artist. They have one of his paperweights for sale and it is priced at $1,000. ... I am not sure but I believe he passed away a few years back. The last Sam Sturgeon Paperweight I sold was to a nationally known dealer and he paid $800 for it back in the 1990's and sold it immediately. Here is your chance to have a beautiful rare paperweight that most serious collectors will not have in the show case..."

We estimate that this paperweight is about 4 inches tall and about 3 inches at its widest. It weighs about a pound.
