BILLY! Don't ya loose that number...

[Subterranean]

Today's score at a local garage sale. Applied gold letters on a solid silver buckle. Measures 2" by 3", and is hallmarked " Sterling/ 10k/ Newman's Silver shop/ Reno" Apparently a family business, owned and operated in Reno and Carson City by brothers, Hoot, Holler, and Yell Newman! Uh...price...$10.00, and my first name is "William." Cheers! Sub

Hi Captain, It appears to be about 2 ounces on my jankety kitchen scale. Cheers. Sub

Great!! That would probably be regular ounces. So take that number and multiply it by .911 and that gives you Troy ounces. 2 x .911 = 1.82 ozt. A nice chunk of silver!!

It was Rikki who was told not to lose that number. Very nice buckle. Billy. Don't be a hero.

Great find. Now...Rikki?!

Steely Dan. Rikki don’t lose that number. Subterranean titled the thread “Billy don’t ya lose that number”. I was correcting him while also making a reference to “Billy. Don’t be a hero” by Paper Lace.

I just sucked any small bit of humor right out of my post with the ponderous explanation.

Still lovin’ the buckle!

Doubter in MD, you are spot on with Steely Dan, brother. I was actually referring to the Phil Collins song wherein he tells Billy not to lose his number, LOL! All dem folks better not lose any numbers! Thanks! Sub

Sweet find, congrats!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Great find Sub. Your name on the front, and its silver. Cant beat that.

 

[Garscale]

I bet his middle name is Bob

 

[trdking]

Nice score I wonder how much 10K is on it? Super buy either way!

"Billy don't you lose my number" was 80s Phil Collins, but it wasn't the title of the song...
