Rare, Collectable and Old Fashion Silver Bar. II

The WD with upward arrow is the marking for the War Department, hence most likely to be a British or Commonweatlh war relic (WWII?).

Very unlikely to be silver.
 
Vintage kilo bar by Metaux Precieux of Switzerland (current day Metalor) that I acquired a little while back. Plain, but I like it :)

^^^ Nice! I've never seen Abbott's bars before. Is that phone number still valid??

Yes, the business is still open with the same phone number (Birmingham Michigan) LOL
 
Have anyone tried Apmex' s "Engelhard" lottery? their recent price was lower than Gainesville's who ran out of stock fast.
 
What are the old Perth mint 1oz's worth? I have 2 of them.

And I got an old 5 oz, that even came in a little beige velvet bag, worth anything extra?
 
Hi all

I've recently come across a Harrington 5kg bar. It looks quite old, however I've researched for hours and can't find another like it or even a mention of it on any website or forum.

I'd be very interested to know if anyone has ever come across these? I assume it's quite rare but would appreciate any information you may have.
 
Hi Braden84,

here is some info on Harringtons (pretty sure it is correct):

Harringtons were an Australian Refinery based originally in Sydney Australia before expanding into Victoria Australia. The company was first registered in 1923 and ceased production before 1988 when it was taken over by Golden West Refining.

Although a 5 kg bar by Harringtons would not be very common it would also not attract very much of a premium. Premiums "tend" to vary according to size with 1 oz collectible silver bars attracting a much greater premium (percentage wise) than larger bars. Having said this a collector of Harrington bars might pay substantially more for one than an investor in silver.

Just my 2 cents :)
