Thread: salm rock coticule on the internet

Good morning - you're discussing the salm rock stone and razor lot that I sold on that "UNoWho" auction site yesterday. We also were astounded at the price, but I'm glad to take it.

I just want to let you know that this is definitely not a fake. It belonged to my father-in-law (1904-1985), who apparently bought it new and used it. We are beginning to downsize so decided to part with it and thought the auction was the best way.

I had no clue what this stone was, so I feel incredibly lucky that at least apparently three serious collector(s) found the listing. If I could have included keywords describing the stone, maybe even more bidders would have found it. One of the bidders told me what it was, but at that point there was no way to add anything to the auction listing.

With such an unbelievable auction result, out of curiosity I Googled for more information about Salm Rock coticules and happened to come across this Forum that appeared in search results.

It looks like a good time to list these, since at least two losing under-bidders ran it up to that final price with amazing bids.

Thanks for finding the listing and for the great discussion. Unfortunately this looks like a one hit wonder for me. Dad had only the one.
