Rare, Collectable and Vintage Gold Bars.

Aurora et luna,

Only have only been able to have part of your bar translated today, however having a work colleague write down the full translation so should be able to post it up tomorrow.

The script on the left side going down the page per your picture states "Established 1848" and in regards to the script going left to right; one symbol means "Dragon" & another "Phoenix" then the writhing on the right hand side is making reference to a bank.

Hopefully this will keep you intrigued until I get the rest.

Supe.
 
A big thanks to Supedeloop for the translation of the Dragon & Phoenix bar.


Script at top of pic: Old Phoenix Gold Company

Down Left Side: Established 1848 yr. In brackets: Made in Ming Dynasty Era 28yrs

Across the middle: Dragon, Phoenix, Happiness

Right Side: Old Phoenix Gold Company

Across Bottom: Old Phoenix Gold Company 30g Gold

The middle with Dragon Phoenix Happiness, is a Chinese saying which is used to congratulate newly weds, and in the case of this bar it was most likely given to someone as a wedding gift
 
So theres a new gold kid on the block ? Any other sizes ? Whats your prices ? go on give yourself a shameless plug :p
 
Very similar to the Johnson Matthey round on # 30

A couple of really cute button bars I picked up a few days ago.
Not a lot of information about the maker's mark W & M
Hopefully someone here can identify the manufacturer.

It's a bit hard for me to make it out but is that definitely W&M or could it be W&H - I ask as it looks remarkably similar to the Walker&Hall Pennant mark
