Topic: Sulphide Paperweight info needed

There is another of Salvador's weights with too much manganese coming up for auction here

Hi everyone,

late but true, finally the right person shown as sulphide was
tracked down; it also got a strong hint to the Ysart
family (roots in Spain) because the sulphide most likely shows

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_XIII_of_Spain

The form was taken from a medal, I have lost the link meanwhile but it will be possible
to refresh knowledge by a picture search for Alfonso XIII medal, I'm sure... 

...which leads me to assume that Ysart (the father?) made
it to commemorate  Alfonso's death after 1941... (still Moncrieff, but possibly pre-Ysart Brothers estd. in 1946)

The weight has been offered and is still for sale at the common auction platform for a while now,


best wishes e.m.

Hi there,

Thank you for the additional information. That seems to make sense.
