3 oz Alder Gulch, Montana, $60 gold ingot.
Long and thin rectangular gold ingot stamped: ALDER GULCH / MONTANA GOLD / 925 FINE 3 OZS 4 DWT 11GR / 60 DOLLARS. The edges and back of the bar are plain.
Charles & Rumley, W.Y. Lovell & Co. and other assayers operated in Montana circa 1865, and probably the present bar was produced by one of these. To the best information known by John J. Ford, Jr., who provided certain historical information in connection with the present descriptions, this is the only gold ingot known which is specifically attributable to Alder Gulch. ($10,000-12,500)
Obtained from a Geneva, Switzerland source by John J. Ford, Jr. in 1973. Sold to Abner Kreisberg and Jerry Cohen in 1974, and subsequently sold by them to Henry H. Clifford.
