H.K Wick & Co. Glass Paperweight

[Eddie6GS]

I picked up this glass paperweight from an estate sale along with a box of bottles a few years back. Never found out much about the company, or any history on who H.K Wick was. I just uncovered it again while going through some things and thought it was cool so I figured I would share. If anyone does know anything about it, I'd be glad to hear. From what I could see it was patented in 1882. The small print at the bottom says: Pat Sep. 1882 Barnes & Abrams Co. Syracuse, N.Y.
Cheers,
Eddie

H.K. Wick was originally from Youngstown Ohio. A very predominant family in Ohio. Maybe this can narrow down your search.

Good eye ROBBYBOBBY! I never thought to look through the directories. Thanks for the extra info, I'll have to look further into it now. Eddie.
