Paperweight

One glass paperweight. The oval-shaped paperweight is made of a thick, flat piece of clear glass. A color photographic image, which shows the port side of the bulk carrier, ROGER BLOUGH, at a coal dock, is sandwiched between the clear glass top and a thin adhesive green felt bottom on the underside of the paperweight. An adhesive paper label on the underside has handwritten text that reads "MV Roger Blough, Built Lorain, O. [Ohio], 1972," and "Picture taken at Lorain Coal Dock 5 days before sea trials." No manufacturer's name or marks are shown.
