    Hello Ladies & Gents,
    Firstly, apologies... I disappeared for a while, kinda dropped off the face of the earth so sorry about that, life got in the way.
    Now.... I have some interesting vintage silver for those interested in that kind of thing. It comes from the estate of Melbourne jeweller Peter Davis (1935-2017) so they have great provenance & they have all been XRF tested as well so I would stake my name on their authenticity.

    First up it (as the title says) a lovely Hong Kong Shanghai Specie Office Ingot. These are some majorly cool ingots. I have two but was only planning on letting one go but if the right offer were to come along, I could be persuaded to let go of both. (I think I've done the pics right)

    P.S. More to come

    Very nice Bar from the early 1970's. Becoming difficult to find in original genuine condition

    Yep... Commonly & understandably thought to be from the 19th Century. Apparently, they were a magazine send away thing in the 70's!!!
    Still, VERY cool!

    IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE OTHER REMAINING BAR, IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A HEFTY SUM!
