I've searched the web and can't find any info on these items and I've seen the depth of gun related knowledge you folks possess, so was hoping somebody could provide some info or direction for me to continue my search...

The Colt sign is 10" high and 3 3/4" wide and I believe made out of copper.



The Winchester paperweight is glass, 4 3/4" in diameter and weighs 2 3/4 pounds.



Any information, thoughts on value or ideas on where to look for more info gladly appreciated.....Thanks

??? no thoughts, comments or opinions? I KNOW you guys have opinions.

Being in CT I tend to notice these things whenever I'm out antiqueing or rummaging junk stores for insulators. Have not seen either of yours.

The sign, if not a reproduction, looks more informational than promotional...like it was intended for authorized Colt dealers or 'approved' gunsmiths. I'm only suspicious because of the cutesy 'God created man...Colt made them equal' thing, which I know was a slogan of the day, but would it have been part of legit Colt signage? (just my opinion...you asked for opinions )

Here's a link to a fake paperweight similar to yours. That website might be a good place to start for asking about memorabilia.

Morsecode, I thank you for the reply, the opinion and the link, very interesting.
