    Hmmmmm......Could it be an Engelhard bar? Maybe Engelhard Canada bar????? Honestly I do not know. I was just making a wild guess on that.

    bamafanforsure has sold this bar before. Sells for a premium if I recall, but not a giant premium though. Bars like this appeal to those that collect old pour silver bars.

    I heard of that ebay name before. I think that this ebay seller for a while also was selling several "diamond-shaped" .999 pure silver items. I could be wrong on this but I think the "diamond shaped" silver items were 5 troy oz's of .999 pure silver. The only reason that I remember this because the ebay seller named bamafanforsure seemed to be the only one that was selling this unique and other old poured style silver bars.

    I still think that the bar in the OP is an Engelhard (or Engelhard Canada) old poured style silver bar but then again I could be wrong on this. I think that Engelhard has a lot of different style old-poured silver bars back then.

    EDIT: It is possible that it could be a JM bar that was minted in Canada. I think that there were old poured style JM bars that were minted in Canada. Then again I could also be wrong on this. Just a couple of wild guesses on my part.

    JM of Canada had silver bars with a maple leaf on them and the words JMC on them. This is just another of the hundreds and hundreds of old pour bars made by people/companies long gone.

    Bamafanforsure sells many bars that are odd and sometimes he is the only one even selling them which made you wonder........

    After all, our own Gecko experimented with crude home made bars ...

    Thanks for the help. I have some of the Canadian JMC bars. It would be cool if this were an Engelhard piece. But being silver is good enough. I searched the net and found lots of silver makers marks but mostly for silverware
