Since 1999, we’ve proudly partnered with the New York Public Library on a variety of products especially for readers. Architects and draftspeople have been using weights like these for generations to keep their drawings from sliding off their desks. At almost 1 pound each, these supple little heavyweights will keep your papers well-grounded. You can also use these leather weights to relieve tension by tossing from hand to hand beanbag style or kneading the rich, soft pebbled leather. As always, a portion of sales benefits the Library through our program.
