Title: Vasart VP9?
Post by: The Glass Staircase on October 23, 2017, 03:09:54 PM

Hi all,

I picked up this high domed 3 row concentric weight last week and I was wondering if it is a Vasart VP9 paperweight? It measures a little over 2 inches diameter & 2 inches high.

Thanks,

Adam

I think the base is fire polished, not ground out, so that would make it a Strathearn P9 weight rather than Vasart.

Note that the P numbers fro Vasart items, as shown in Richard More's site (https://strathearn.smugmug.com/Ysart-Vasart-Paperweights-1946/Ysart-Vasart-Minature/i-Xp9ShmS) were created by him as references based on the Strathearn numbering for equivalent designs.

Ok thanks for information. I've attached photo's of 2 weights I assumed were older than Strathearn and both have fire polished bases, they must be Strahearn too ?

Yes, I would place those in the (early) Strathearn years too.
