Measuring 4.5 x 3 x 5/8 inches, this wonderful 1920's, glass, advertising paperweight advertises "Martin & Sons, Inc, Commission Merchants for Cotton and Peanuts, Petersburg, Virginia, established 1830". The paperweight is visually attractive featuring scalloped edges. It is in all original, fine condition. No chips, breaks, or scratches. A nice piece of early Petersburg, Virginia, history!
