Antique American paperweights were "country cousins" compared to the sophisticated French paperweights. Although there were some paperweights that were very exactly made, more were somewhat more casual. Some of the workmen came from France, bringing with them their expertise, their ideas and, perhaps, even pieces of glass that were incorporated into the American paperweights.

Antique American weights exude a certain freshness and charm that makes them very appealing. Good quality weights are available although not in as great quantity as the fine French ones. In general, they are less costly than their cousins from overseas.
