This vintage LIFE Magazine cast iron paperweight is the kind of thing you don’t come across every day. Originally used on newsstands to keep the stacks in place, it’s double-sided and features raised lettering that spells out “LIFE” in bold white on red, with a simple embossed border framing it all in. The paint shows plenty of age and wear, and the chippy surface gives it a great, no-nonsense look. It measures about 2 3/4" tall by 6 3/4" wide, just under 1/2" thick, and clocks in at nearly 1 lb 5 oz of solid cast iron. An authentic bit of old-school print culture, from a time when magazines were king and the newsstand was a daily ritual.
