This antique paperweight features a late 1800s, early 1900s couple in sepia under glass. The back has the photographer's name, Wilfred Smith and Co., and there is faint penciled writing visible on the back as well.
An excerpt from the book Indian Lake, Hamilton County by Arnold W. DeMarsh, shows a photograph of a similar paperweight produced by Wilfred Smith and Co.
