    I have a chrome plated advertising paperweight that I am trying to find info on. It is in the shape of a torch and has the words "Spread The Light With World Book". I assume this is for World Book encyclopedia, but was wondering if anyone could confirm this. Also wondering if anyone might know what era this is from.

    According to the following World Book, Inc., World Book was founded in 1915. It is showing a logo of a globe.

    Amazon has one of these for sale. They are calling it only "vintage" with no specific decade.

    and another one:

    Around the middle of April would be a good time to advertize and sell this paperweight because April 23rd is called World Book Night.
