    Description

    Up for auction/sale is a vintage White Mountains "Old Man of the Mountain", Franconia NH glass paperweight. I tried to date this piece, but there are no manufacturers marks on the glass or insert, and I found no other examples, but I'd suspect 1940s/1950s.
    Sadly, after many attempts to repair/save the "Old Man" the rock formation collapsed in May of 2003, but the area is still respected and honored as a memorial. To learn more, you can cut and paste the following link:
