Description

The listing, WoW Vintage 24k Pure Gold Pure Silver Mega Lot has ended.

This gold and silver was used 75+ years ago by a painter and frame-maker, the artist died in WWII. I feel that much of this gold and silver is from the turn of the century, but I can only date it pre-1943
The luster from this vintage gold leaf is so great there's no words for it. Beautiful, breathtaking, fascinating these words don't do it justice. It gives of a radiance that modern leaf can not. Modern leaf is machine manufactured as where this gold leaf and gold leaf for thousands of years before it was pounded out by skilled gold-beaters, a process lost with today's modern industrialism.
You can use this in art work, wood work, metal body work
you could always layer something in gold,(Process called Gilding) even do your nails up! Ideals are limitless. I've auction off this gold and silver many times before and it's always a great hit with great feedback.
This is a "lot" of the folded or loose gold and silver books I have. the Whole books are unused but have deterioration to them wither it be on an edge of the book folded or a smashed corner, in many cases though when the book is folded the gold is still in tact. in this lot the Gold book is marked Made in ITALY and the silver books are marked Made in Japan
PIC 2&3--unused 24k gold leaf book 6x6 with folds and bends(Last inch is rough)
PIC 4&5--6 sheets of gold in nice shape still separated
PIC 6&7--2 unused books of pure silver leaf 6x6 with folds and bends(starting to shred on edges and corners)
PIC 8--4 nice little sheets of pure gold still separated
PIC 9--small mound of loose silver leaf(will come in small baggy)
PIC 1&9 corners--4 whole gold sheets with all 4 bad edges separated
One great auction, alot of surface area with this one, do a large project or a lifetime of small ones, Let your imagination fly
Shipping will be Fast and Free!
Please watch this auction, check my others, and add me to your fan list.(Thank You!)
Happy Bidding and Good Luck!

Wow, I am an artist and I could use this on so many of my art projects. I have never seen this much gold and silver leaf especially vintage in one place. Watching and fanned...good luck with this! (Secretly hoping it's mine though) :)

I have been auctioning off small cuts from gold and silver books here on listia this auction is for all the sloppy stuff I have that I wouldn't be able to ship very easily, so I put it all together to ship in cigar box or something similar in size. Thanks for Watching and Good Luck, it's been in my family for a very long time, but I like the fact other listians will USE it in projects that can take this gold/silver into another century. once a guy bought some from me with intentions of reselling it for profit, that hurt my feelings.
