Crane & Breed Casket Company Scottish Terrier Paperweight

Item Details

An original Crane & Breed Casket Company cast metal Scottish terrier paperweight. This charming paperweight features a handsome pup standing at attention, with a silver-toned finish and marked "Crane & Breed Casket Co." to the underside.

Crane & Breed was started in the 1850s after acquiring a patent by a man named Almond Dunbar Fisk, who is credited with creating the first form-fitting, airtight metal casket. After his untimely death, Fisk’s family sold his patent to what would become Crane & Breed Casket Company. This paperweight, and others like it, were promotional items for the company, as samples of their fine metalwork.
