SOLD
An extremely SHARP cluster of unusually elongated silver crystals, from the important collections of the major Michigan museum (A.E. Seaman Museum) devoted to the old copper district here. This is quite simply one of the most mesmerizing silver miniatures I have seen, for its unusual form and sharp crystallization culminating in those cute, pointy tips. As a bonus, the Seaman Museum label indicates the piece was exchanged out from one of their major founding collections, that of mine Photographer and collector, JT Reeder (early 1900s).
