I’ve just been doing the wedding in the garden and dug a little deeper to find this… I can see it’s a silver jubilee but it’s a chunky bit of glass… wonder why it ended up in the garden

  4. It’s a glass paperweight from 1977 Jubilee. Worth about £8.

  6. **Dartington Glass 1977 ER Queen’s Silver Jubilee Commemorative Paperweight**

  7. It contains the soul of the late Queen. Bury it immediately.

  13. The people in the comments clearly aren’t as qualified in ancient glassology as me. This actually a glass amulet from 1977 **BC**, made during the twenty fifth year of the reign of the god-king Ellr. Easy mistake to the untrained eye.

  18. Must have a big garden if you are hosting weddings

  23. This commemorative paperweight will be produced in a once only run of only 250,000 pieces and is strictly limited to one per household.

    Call 0800 000 1977 to secure yours now for an initial down payment of £99 followed by another 12 payments of £99.

    If you call today you will also receive this stunning corgi shaped draught excluder absolutely free!

  24. Jubilee paperweight. How lovely!! Looks like dartington crystal.

  25. Try going to a professional appraiser to see how much it’s worth based of the looks and design, if it is in pristine condition then you could raise the value. After that you could continue digging in your backyard and find more stuff like this, perhaps you’ve got some luck and could make loads of money. Maybe even end up on the news.

  26. All the kids round my way got one at the street party. Still got mine somewhere.

  28. If I’m not mistaken this is a shallow depth sounding plug.

  33. Looks like a paperweight.

    I remember the Silver Jubilee celebrations (yes, I’m that old…). All kinds of EIIR commemorative items were produced that year: coins, buttons, plates and other china items, flags, letter openers… and very likely paperweights.
