nice set. Hopefully I didn’t scrap any of his stuff . It’s a baby fork and food pusher correct?

Exactly. There were spoons, forks, food pushers, knifes, even cups and plates.

It makes me happy that nice old silver like that is saved and does not get scrapped and turned into brand new .999 items

The final vintage gold bar that put me well over my goal. Now to move on to the next collecting goal....

asheland · February 14, 2020 1:44PM

@cmanbb Nice gold, too!

ricko · February 15, 2020 10:28AM

@cmanbb....I really like that 2 oz (troy I presume) cube of gold.... Like a big nugget as opposed to a coin design. Cheers, RickO

Weiss · February 15, 2020 11:31AM

@cmanbb , those are absolutely and completely S I C K. Unbelievably cool!

And they look, like, I don't know, MS66 grade.

asheland · March 4, 2020 12:59PM

I got a couple more Consolidated Mines & Metals today to add to the collection...

Included are three 5oz no serial numbers and one 10oz no serial number which are very rare

ricko · March 6, 2020 7:16AM

@Zubie....Nice collection of bars....are you focused on CM&M or just part of your collection?? Cheers, RickO

asheland · March 6, 2020 8:09AM

@Zubie VERY cool! 👍

I swapped over to VIntage Poured Bars (VPB) about a 9-10 months ago. I collect any vintage type bars but now narrowing down to the higher end bars like CMMs, Foster, SF Assays and some fantasy bars like Arizona Assay Office, Yellow Daisy and Nevada Corp.

Zubie · March 6, 2020 9:04AM

please delete, couple post..thx

ricko · March 6, 2020 9:32AM

@Zubie ....I have not heard of Yellow Daisy.....Thanks for the response....Cheers, RickO

Common coin, uncommon look.

Mesh · March 7, 2020 9:50PM

picked this week at 2 LCS & 1 show

SimpleCollector · March 8, 2020 8:45AM

Nice assortment mesh, curious what the random one ounce bars went for. I saw a bunch of Englehard one ounces during a business trip, but store warned melt +3.

What do most pay for amark, englehard, j&m bars ( not poured)

asheland · March 10, 2020 11:35AM

Latest find, Kalo shop, Chicago, c.1909:

Today’s most welcome addition!

philographer · March 28, 2020 3:12PM

Inexpensive pickup on eBay. Love this modern pattern from 1927. Pyramid by Georg Jensen...

That’s a classic pattern! I love Jensen’s work:

I have this example, an earlier piece 1920’s mark:

My Brother’s cat took a keen interest in my latest poured bar today.

Kliao · March 28, 2020 5:28PM

Future silver stacker!

asheland · April 1, 2020 11:33AM

Today’s newps:
Tougher dates! at least the 1999 is

The 99 has some milk spots, I’m not crazy about that, but overall it’s a nice looking coin.

I wasn’t aware of that type... the modern obverse like the current ones, but with that reverse.

A cool find. I’ve always loved the Mexican Libertads!

Kliao · April 5, 2020 9:38AM

I don’t know if I shared this picture before but a while back I got bored and pulled out all my silver flatware and hollowware. This is not including the 30+ small Souvenir spoons I have. Really didn’t know I had this much silver till I laid it all out. The best part is it was all cheap!
My parents didn’t like that I made a mess on the floor

ricko · April 5, 2020 10:56AM

@Kliao ....Wow...nice batch of silver there....I am still looking for a nice silver tankard.... hard to find - most have initials engraved... I am looking for a plain one...Cheers, RickO

Jinx86 · April 5, 2020 11:07AM

@Kliao
Nice batch of Wallace Rose Point. You might look at ebay for some pricing ideas and sell some of the higher demand serving pieces and turn the profit into more silver. Also if your looking to turn your sterling into 999 let me know I can help or point you to a few other great sources.

The Wallace rosepoint was from a garage sale for $18. 12 place setting. Missing a few pieces but nice. Also has 4 large serving spoons, 2 ladles, and a few others.

That would be neat to turn my finds to bullion. I really do hate to melt stuff like this but if it’s not selling for more than scrap 999 bullion is the way to go. Do you also refine gold jewelry scrap?

asheland · April 8, 2020 6:50PM

Newp. Arrived today;
Georg Jensen, with London import hallmarks for 1961:

ricko · April 9, 2020 5:59AM

Is that a condiment spoon? Just curious about the purpose... too large for a salt spoon...Cheers, RickO

PerryHall · April 9, 2020 6:13AM

Looks like a spoon for a young child.

Kliao · April 9, 2020 6:40AM

I thinks it’s a baby spoon because of the handle that’s curled back.

It’s larger than your typical baby spoon. Actual type? Not sure to be honest. Probably just a general use spoon. The quality it top notch though!

asheland · April 9, 2020 10:42AM

New bar today. A friend just gave it to me!

The quality has to be good. Georg Jensen is a very popular silversmith.

More research shows that the pattern was probably made with the curl.

@asheland Wowzer!!

Jinx86 · April 9, 2020 8:03PM

Just a lump of stainless for me. The GMT I've had for a few years but dont wear often due to its 1968 vintage. The Sea-Dweller was a great deal from a new business partner, dates to just after my HS graduation.

@asheland post reminded me of a few 20's I had stashed a few years ago in my keeper box.

I have to say, excellent photography!
