DESCRIPTION:

An elegant tangle of wire Silver with an attractive antique patina and greyish Acanthite acts as the base for an upright, gracefully twisting Silver wire. This is an excellent thumbnail from the classic Norway locality, and is from the A.G. Boynton collection. Boynton was a mining engineer circa 1910-1920, and City Manager of Boulder City, Nevada in the mid-1940s. He assembled a nice collection of rare specimens from the localities of the 1910s to the 1940s.
