This is a remarkably heavy, executive-grade Solid Brass Desk Paperweight featuring the official seal of Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts).
What sets this piece apart is its incredible heft—weighing in at a substantial 2 lbs 1 oz. Most collegiate paperweights are made of glass or light pewter; this is a solid, industrial-weight brass block likely commissioned as an exclusive gift for the University Corporation (Board of Trustees) or high-level donors.
Product Specifications:
Weight: 2 lbs 1 oz (approx. 935 grams) – exceptionally heavy for its size.
Material: Solid Brushed Brass with a high-relief polished gold-tone seal.
Dimensions: Approx. 2.5" Height x 2.25" Width. The face is angled for perfect visibility on a desk.
Design Details: Features the "CORPORATION" plaque on the base and the university seal with the motto "Lux Veritas Virtus" (Light, Truth, Virtue).
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. It has a beautiful, deep patina and a protective felt-style texture on the bottom to prevent desk scratches.
A truly "heirloom" quality piece for any Northeastern Husky alum, faculty member, or collector of Ivy-league style university memorabilia.
