Page 5: THE LABOW/SEACAT PAPERWEIGHT COLLECTION

It is sometimes difficult to determine with certainty what spark ignites the passion for

collecting, the moment when admiration becomes adoration. The genesis for this impressive

collection of paperweights was the gift of a single paperweight to Mel Seacat in the late

1960s from the sister of his companion Jack Labow. Mr. Seacat was so taken with the beauty

of the object presented, he visited a glassworks in his native Indiana to learn more about the

process, then he and Mr. Labow spent the next thirty years compiling a collection of

paperweights that eventually numbered over six hundred pieces.

The collection is built primarily of modern paperweights but also contains a small group of

antique examples. Noted makers like Baccarat and St. Louis take up a large portion of the

collection, but as Mr. Labow and Mr. Seacat's interest in the subject grew, so did the scope of

their collecting. Embracing contemporary glass artists like Paul Stankard, Chris Buzzini,

Debbie and Delmo Tarsitano, Jim Donofrio and others, they kept meticulous records of all

their acquisitions, and kept them proudly displayed in their home on Long Beach Island.

Freeman's is pleased to offer this unique collection for sale.
