$5 · Victor's Pearls, Tokyo, Paper Weight

I understand this paper weight is from the 1950's. I bought it in 1968 in Tokyo and it is still in the original box. could this be a unique gift for the right person? April Globe and Mail, Design Section says Paper Weights are back in style. They advertise one company where prices begin at $30.00 each. Wow - what a bargain at $5.00 :>) It is just over 2 1/2 inches across and features a pearl in its shell. The back is clear also and shows the back of the pearl shell. The funds will be donated through the Victoria Foundation and directed to The Children's Health Foundation.
