    I spotted this lovely bit of kit in my local pawnbrokers today.

    Sterling silver . Apparently a gift associated with the America's Cup yacht racing .Dated ( I think) 1865) Described as a business card holder. He is asking around $600 for it :)

    In very fine condition.

    I dribbled a bit...but would not buy at that price,$600 gets you nearly 3x 10 oz bars ...a better way to spend.
    Anyhoo ,his prices are too high..the kook is an indication of that

    if that loose Kook is priced at $64, chances are it might be a little slightly over priced also. Does look great though.
