This is a true treasure. This antique peice was discovered at an estate sale sale of a wealthy Oklahoma resident after passing. The individual had thousands of ounces of silver & gold in his safes that went out for public sale in Edmond Oklahoma. However, amongst the huge amount of very high-value coins and bullion bars, was found this antique peice that was tucked away amongst the belongings with what appears to be their most treasured, non-nusmatic items. Likely from traveling the world.
In respect to the deceased, I will not separate these memories, even if this item does not sell. It will sell as one single unit with the included tokens, pins and foreign currencies that meant something to the individual, or I will take the listing down and keep it in my own collection.
