asheland

This is just plain awesome! You couldn’t ask for a better looking example!
A sweet way to start my Friday.

PerryHall

Very nice. I've never seen one before.

Neat bar. How did you know it’s engelhard?

How'd you get your hands on that one?

LukeMarshall

Are you going to stash it with your other bars, or flip it for more ozs? I would think you could get quite a premium for the bar with its rarity.

I'll work for free where you do.

Ditto.

A quick google of ALCI Industries...

"Leon Israel's company changed its name in 1971 to ACLI,"

"Soon after the death of Leon Israel Jr., ACLI international was acquired by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette in 1981.
ACLI had become a multibillion-dollar commodity and security brokerage firm and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette was Wall Street's seventh-largest publicly held securities house. The deal was valued at $42 million dollars in 1981."

And a link if you can suffer through all the adds they place in between the article.

There's a write up on allengelhard.com on their 10oz page.

This one I'm keeping, I love these rare bars when I can find them!

asheland

I will show the others
The top one is mine, off the market, however the other two, owned by my friend are available. I’m not sure what he wants out of them, but as of now, they are available.

FWIW, I own the other two shown, they will be for sale at some point.

Kliao

@asheland You have a third of the market of those bars in that picture!

MsMorrisine

I'd guess there are at least 123 of them.

or no less than 84.

asheland

AllEngelhard updated the page for these and listed the serial numbers. 👍

asheland

10094 sold privately to somebody, 10040 is still available.

asheland

10040 sold on ebay last night. Crazy, it went over $1800 bucks!

Kliao

WOW! I never knew Engelhard's were so collectable. Gotta look out now

asheland

Indeed some have a following, they can go for stupid money!

crazyhounddog

Great score!! I’ve never seen one of those and if I did I wouldn’t have a clue it was an Engelhard.
Very nice👌
