if you visit scotlandsglass (see link) and do a "product search" with the names, you'll find some basic info, incl. the original prices - both £ 50.

to determine today's value is much more tricky, especially since the advent of online auctions like ebay. the "charlton catalogue", published in 2004, is an attempt to do so - and margaret has quoted (correctly) the numbers given in this book ... but ...

1. the book is known to include typos - and the £ 250 for saltire must be considered to be one of them.

2. the values in the book generally have to be considered somewhat optimistic - at least for ebay auctions: many caithness weights, especially unlimited ones, sell for less than half. so if you actually sell, and fetch only £ 25 (for either of them) you shouldn't be too disappointed.

best regards - wolf

: IS that what they are worth? Did you make a typing error?
: Thanks
