This German vintage cast bar collection is so impressive, I thought I would share it with you guys
Wouldn't we all like to own one like this ?

I see an Engelhard in there!
Also a Westpac gold bar from when they used to have gold account passbooks. Have seen a 10oz one of these before.

Score! Have seen only one of those before and it wasn't carded.

Beautiful collection there...and expensive too.....Is that a 'Westpac' bank W on the top left???
Edit...Just noticed G.P mentioned the Westpac bar above.....still an awesome collection!

If there are any Stackers here who can translate the Chinese characters on the reverse; it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Its been almost ten months since that post, but I'll translate. This is for the horizontal bar on p2 of this thread.
Main horizontal inscription: "Good fortune of dragon and phoenix"
30g "thousand exact" gold (equivalent to 99.9%)
Dragon design above it appears to be jeweler's logo.
Vertical writing on far left: Established 1846
Vertical writing on far right: 'Old Phoenix (something) Silver House'

Alright... How on earth did I miss this thread!!!!
Wish I could get some pics of my Hereaus', when they're in a safe on the other side of the planet... its a bit tricky!!!
Noticed anyone hasn't put up any of these yet... in my opinion one of the best value and readily available old-school cast bars today:
Been saving like a mofo for one of their 50grammers.
Saw a really nice cast Mitsubishi in a Brisbane coin shop a good 12 months ago - apparently due to the rarity of it they wanted spot + 11%.
You can only imagine my response...

Wow, these particularly look interesting. I like the casing/packaging as well. PM me if you know where to get any of these today.

I loved the photos.
The square-shaped ones are especially rare. I've seen some of the most interesting ones ever.
It's funny how some of those photographed/scanned 10-20 g bars look as if they were huge, several kilogram-weighing bars.

Looks like both of these bars will probably be headed off to Germany very soon so I better post a few pics as it is very unlikely I will be able to source any more in the future. 
Probably the rarest cast bars I have come across.
Lihir 25grams Gold Cast Bars.
Casted from one of the earliest pours after the mine started producing gold.
I could be wrong but I think most of these bars were gifted to directors of the company and major shareholders. I don't think the general public was able to buy them.
