On its side is the date line; London was 00:00 hours 01.01.00. New York was still 19:00 hours on 31.12.99. Moving round the paper weight one finds the date line where, New York is 00:00 hours on 01.01.00 and London was at 05:00 hours 01.01.00.

This item is presented with a British Airways certificate and comes in a Wedgwood (blue) box and with outer (white) sleeve bearing Concorde logo. Approx size: 80mm across the base, it stands 55mm high.

These were only given to passengers who flew on Concorde during the last few months of 1999. They are a brilliant, 3 in 1 collectable item, Wedgwood, millennium and most importantly, Concorde!
