Description

The listing, Vintage Pure Silver 25 sheets gold bonus free shipping 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.
This is a cut from one of his Silver books.
Modern leaf is machine manufactured as where this silver/gold leaf and silver/gold leaf for thousands of years before it was pounded out by skilled gold-beaters, a process lost with today's modern industrialism.
This particular piece "is" marked Made in JAPAN, with an estimated 25 sheets(appears to be all sheets), you can see It's a large cut, next to a quarter in the picture you can see the size.
This is alot of silver so you can think larger surface area.
you can use this in art work, wood work, metal body work Ideals are limitless, you could always layer something in pure gold or silver(Gild), It's a great keepsake, conversation piece.
If it wasn't for the great people here on listia i would keep this stuff but i like knowing it will be used, appreciated and cherished, much like it was a few generations ago.

Picture 1&2 are the actual item,

Please check my other auctions

**Return Bidder BONUS**????? Not this time for this auction anyone who wins, will receive a small cut of pure gold book at least a square inch with 25 sheets in it.

My gold and silver has been thinned down and I do not have much left, I may list a few more auctions in the future but not too many left to list.

Shipping will be Fast and Free
Thanks for Looking, Happy Bidding and Good Luck!

Good luck snipers :)

great deal but if it says made in JAPAN it is after WWII after occupied JApan all other items pre wwII I think are Just marked JAPAN doesnot matter it is great deal and today you would have to pay premium for it till ud to restore and also to sign items .

this was all made long before WWII not sure about WWI, occupied japan would have been marked on them if they where made within 7 years just after WWII, this silver is stamped MADE IN JAPAN with a purple ink, that may have been black ink years ago.
He died in 1943 before WWII was over, this silver and gold he used before he was in the service.

Oops! I just bid an order if magnitude higher than I intended. Stupid cell phone. Anyway... I don't think I can retract it myself. And it is more than any sane person would bid. Is there any way we can fix this?

ask listia to fix it in a support report/ticket, your bid won't go any higher then someone else is willing to bid though.
