    That's a cool looking ingot! Over the years I have melted some things that I wish I had kept.

    DO NOT melt it! Cool vintage paperweight!

    So much of that old stuff has gone the way of the melting pot. They just do not cast ingots like that today (laser etching?!?!?)

    Nice!

    I'd be hanging onto that too.
    It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years (Abe Lincoln)
