SO much better quality than the one at auction, very nice!

True,  but I wonder how the auction piece would look "in hand" - a little worn and a few scratches but not too bad for the price range - where will you find another? :)

This throws some light on a sembei Netsuke

Piers just how small is that netsuke? Beautiful, the metal looks like polished dark wood.

It’s actually quite a generous slice, Dale, about 7 cm overall across from memory.

Iron Mokume, you could probably get for well under a hundred dollars

Sorry Jesse I was over estimating on that Mokume - it sold for $72.51 USD. You would have got the shipping as well for $100! :)

I think it was James Binion? who was making mokumegane jewelry, and he noticed that silver-copper mokumegane jewelry would lead to the silver being oxidized away, because of the humidity of the skin, leaving only part of the ring.
