    Not vintage, but I think out of production are these two types of
    Australian Gual Metal Trust bars circa ?2013?

    I received this from another member this week.

    I love the colouration on the back:

    Something about the light made this look a bit better in the photo than it actually does, but it's still very nice I think:

    That bar looks ugly yet beautiful at the same time. I like it!

    Exactly! There's beauty in its imperfection. I think it was another member, maybe 1for1, who pointed out the Japanese concept of wabi sabi:

    Hey, I'd love to see some pics of other vintage Kilos (especially other PM ones) - please share. Here's a couple of JM Australian varieties.

    Does anyone know if Matthey Garret 1kg bars are considered 'vintage'?

    100% yes they are from up until the early 1980's when they became "Johnson Matthey".
