K. & F. S. (Kenneth & Freda Shonback) Ingots

I’ve always loved these unique 3 oz pieces that came from Kenneth and Freda Shonback, who had a shop on Clement St. in San Francisco in the 60’s. As the story goes these bars were made between 1966-1968 and made various sizes that were put into wooden presentation boxes. They were well received by the market at the time and made their way into national magazines advertising as great investments. These have become very sought after and premiums have risen dramatically over the last few years.

My pair of 3 oz examples. Love this size and variety.
Reverse. These have a nice shape and excellent in hand.
