Small is beautiful: 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.

In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of .1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and

Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale.
