Any information on this one? Vintage poured bar

[fourboysplus]

Recent purchase, any info regarding MFG, date etc?

I think it might be made by Consolidated metals, if it is its pre 1980's as they didnt look like that around that time and after, they are quite rare bars (if it is one and is all genuine/correct etc).

i see this bar was listed on ebay in the USA.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Rare-Vintage-Poured-10-oz-Silver-Bar-CM-1st-generation-bar-ingot-999-Lot-D/132656682436?hash=item1ee2f455c4:g:gtMAAOSwZ~hbG~gx

Listed as ' Possible 1st generation bar? Crabtree Mint?? '

This seems very unlikely. The only product i can see for Crabtree Mint is pressed bars and rounds - so it does not fit their MO.

If you do a search for Consolidated Metals you get a steel tubing company in Florida, founded in 1998.

Consolidated Mining and Metals - they were silver producers. They had a distinctive logo. Even an early bar doesn't seem likely to have had simply CM.

In this ebay offering the seller has a go at Possible 1st generation bar? Crown Mint, Capital Metals, Crabtree Mint, Consolidated Mines ???

None of the above look like, hence the 'First Generation' comment.

Then we have this one with obvious cooling lines.

I think @sixgun will likely be correct, it will be very difficult to identify its origin however, I wouldn’t worry, it’s a very nice looking bar. Enjoy ? 

As stated above, It certainly doesn’t fit the Consolidated Metals brand:

If in doubt about it being genuine 999 silver then avoid it, you will still have your money and your sanity incase it turned out to be 'not right'.
