One of my favorite antique silver dealers, Wax Antiques in London, is moving to the famed "London Silver Vaults"--a huge underground marketplace for rare and antique silver objects first opened in 1885.
Wax is where I got this tankard by 18th century London silversmith Jacob Marsh. It's nearly 30 troy ounces and has a huge presence.

Lots of early spoons, @asheland 
Say, didn't you do some cool wheeling and dealing this week?

I went a little bit heavy. Dealer offered this all at .50 cents over so I splurged.

@Weiss.... Beautiful silver tankard. I am still envious of one of those more traditional style tankards you got a couple of years ago.....still looking for one for my shelf. Cheers, RickO
Nice haul, Meltdown.
Love the tankard, Weiss!
I added a few more generic ounces this week. Nothing spectacular tho.

Had a nice eBay score this week...
Even though I made out money wise, I was saddened to find it had been repaired.
Anyway, it still went to a good home and I made a few bucks.
Found in the silver plate section:

Thanks @Weiss
Now I need to find the gold version for matching pair
I was in complete "awe" when I seen all of this! Very ,very, very beautiful collection.
This was the pin sample from a 450 oz lot of scrap. They thought it was all silver. It was bought that way at least. Sadly I cannot refine this size of lot in house I have to ship it out to our refiner.
No images of the lot just the assay. If all works out I should net 11.25ozt of gold extra.
Sadly its works and not mine. Although I might get a kick back for catching it.
I have his big brother! This came in the store front a few years ago and I had to have it. Not to add to the set!
I have the Japanese 20 gm ingot. Always wondered what the set looked like. Thanks.
Thanks shinywhite. I probably overpaid but it's what I had to do on these "had to have" Sets. The dealer said those gold and silver producing Set had not been opened in 25+ years. When I aksed him, what's those buried over there in the corner of the showcase and he opened them, we both about fell out of our chairs LOL
@CRH4LIFE...That ring is a heck of a find... signed pieces are really valuable...and nice work as well. Cheers, RickO
Incredible sets, Rich! Nice to see you posting again. Hope you have been well.

Good to see you still here too. Just been working alot and active in a couple other groups. All is well. Thanks for asking.
I bought all 3 of them on the same day. The dealer was pulling stuff out he had buried for years and I wasn't about to stop him from doing so LOL, because it was one thing after another that was blowing me away. I stepped up and bought these 3 out of about 8-9 incredible assorted sets.
