6.5.24- the weight has an etched number 23 underfoot**05.06.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 1275: After careful visual and UV examination, I note that the paperweight is intact and structurally secure, with a small flawed region at the rim of the foot (rim is slightly narrowed in one spot) but is inherent to its production, I do not currently observe chips, fractures, or evidence of restoration
