[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 562013, member: 31"]A customer came into the store the other day and was saying how she had just been applying gold leaf to something. I showed her some bottles of powdered ink I had saved from the Studebaker garage when I cleaned it out several years ago. She insisted that it was quite possible that the gold ink was made with high karat gold, and that I should get it tested because I might have a thousand dollars worth of gold here. The three ink powders are not in the original containers, although one did have its original label stuck onto its new jar. What do you think? Does anyone know if they used real gold in the old powdered inks they used on cars?
