Purchased from Louis Lyons in 1984 using funds from the Clara S. Peck Endowment Fund. Catalogue cards say that these objects were a bequest of Clara S. Peck (by exchange), and the purchase recommendation says the museum planned to use funds acquired by deaccessioning duplicate paperweights, including some given by Mrs. Amory Houghton and Mrs. Leigh M. Battson. Several paperweights bequeathed by Clara S. Peck in 1983 were also deaccessioned around that time.
