Empire International are some of the most difficult ingots to track down in 5 and 10 oz class. When they are found, it’s typically been in 25 oz class. They have a really unique “Pinecone” hallmark with the word “Empire” vertically spelled out from top of pinecone to bottom. Take a look below at a rare 10 oz that Brian R. owns with a 1 oz commercial art bar.

These 10 oz are exceptionally rare. Great example. Note the extreme space between the 1 and 0 in the weight stamp.

I previously owned the below bar, and miss it dearly. It’s a great example of 25 oz class.
