The Prospector coin started from an old-time, black and white photograph of real prospectors. The enlarged photo hung over the desk of executive Fred Hamerle at the Plainville plant. Hammerle had done a stint at the Franklin Mint where they had expertise in creating collector-grade pieces. Engelhard-Plainville was already experienced in producing silver coin blanks for the United State Mint.
Hammerle combined the production and artistic expertise of the two and created a legend.

Engelhard Plainville produced the 1 oz planchette, the Prospector, the 100 Oz and 1000 oz Engelhard market bars. It was the largest silver processing plant in the country at the time. It started as a hunting spot for Charles Engelhard, Jr., according to local lore.

Engelhard boat clock. Cool peice works and swivels all the away around.

Love this paticular piece of Engelhard history. Covers, Engelhard, Clocks, and Zippo collectors. When I received it I pulled the plastic tab and started working right away. Thanks for having me.

Today’s Engelhard collectible is a 10k
gold ring given to Engelhard Senior Executives.
Each diamond represented 10 years of service to the Engelhard Corporation.

Today’s collectible is from the 1988 National Petroleum Refiners Association Q&A conference in San Francisco Ca. Engelhard Oktoberfest and yes I had to use it once!
