Love the box. I go to flea markets all the time looking for crap like this. Good little find.

Wow Barry,
The box will break before those silver bars fill to the top. I must agree with other that like this type of old bar, even thought I don't have one yet.

All right, the good news is that my Johnson Matthey bar just came in and it is a real beaut:   I'm assuming this is "poured" as opposed to "extruded" (I think I have my terminology correct) and I just really love the way it looks. Kinda like the world's most expensive loaf of bread. The only bad news is that it's longer than the Engelhard bar and therefore doesn't fit in my nifty wooden box:  Ah well, I guess I'll just go back to lining the bottom of the safe with them... |

Let's hope one bar is male and the other is female.

This is my first bigger bullion, got it 2 weeks ago, I think this maybe a descendant of your bars as matthey garrett, became johnson matthey in 1981, anyone know how old this bar is? I received it last week, only to find the original owner of it passed that day(he regarded silver to be very precious and more so in the future) Either way this bar will never leave my hands until the day I pass, and it's passed to my daughter.

That is a beautiful kilo, they are so much easier to trade or sell then the 100's.

Thanks mate,
It does need a clean, as it's at least 31 years old, but I will wait to do that, as after speaking with the care taker of the original owner of this, there is too much history and spirit in this bar for me to rub away.
She could'nt belevie how much the original owner and i, were alike in so many ways.
It's going to be hard to find another bullion no matter how big or rare is it that will have as much meaning as this, I wont ever trade or sell no matter how dire thinks get :)
Thank-you for the comment Throwbackid
