Neatly formed silver ingot, 1345 grams, about 98.5% fine, no stamps visible, from the Bredenhof (1753). 6" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/4". Originally cast in a neat rectangular column, this piece has been crudely carved down by the elements, with several large areas missing and no markings yet with certain spots (including the diagonal cuts at one end) close to pristine, great for a paperweight or conversation piece of value, nicely toned all over. From the Bredenhof (1753), with original (generic) certificate from the salvagers.
