I know there's not many people that favor Sterling Silver.

But I'm sure no-one would bother having such a unique piece in there growing collections either.
 
I've got a similar box but of 100 cars by John Pinches Limited. From a 1875 Marcus to a 1975 Volkswagon and I'm pretty sure they're all 99.9 silver...must try remember what I've done with them now.... :|

I original thought they were Franklin Mint, But they are in fact A cased set of 36 sterling silver commemorative motoring ingots, by John Pinches Ltd,

released in the mid-1970s by the Beaulieu National Motor Museum.

Indeed!

Quite a 'generous' premium over spot there...


In 1971 I was drivin' trucks for about $100/wk (& thought I was doin' quite well).............
