620 - LOW 207 / HT-226 R7 AU58 10% Bright with some luster and a few light marks as expected in this grade and soft composition. Bailly Ward & Co. No. 41 Maiden Lane New York Jewellery Perfumery, Engravings, Stationery & French And English Fancy Articles struck in White Metal. Incredibly Ford had three examples (one damaged) of this very rare merchant, this being the finest certified. All others see have been low grade and / or damage, missing from the Dice-Hicks offering. Refer to the Rulau plate specimen for a more typical example, a nice FINE+ but with scratched reverse sold for $1,650 in Bowers and Merena's November 1990 sale. A very rare opportunity. From the John Ford collection earlier from F. C. C. Boyd in March 1958. In a NGC holder graded AU58. (4000-6000) See pictures.
