Found amongst the bottles. It is a very light sun colored amethyst Rodefer Glass paperweight from 1914. Kind of cool to think somebody picked this up at the Bellaire (or perhaps Circleville, Ohio) pumpkin show in 1914 and took it home with them as a souvenir. Quite a few years passed and it ended up on a hillside as trash until it was found and appreciated again! This is one of the reasons I greatly enjoy wandering the hills looking for insulators. Here and there you end up finding something else entirely that's just as interesting!
