DESCRIPTION:
Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, Inc. – Est. 1957
Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, Inc., is a precious metals bullion dealer based in New York City, New York. They have produced bullion for central and commercial banks, metals dealers and industrial users, jewelers and collectors. Their counterstamp hallmark is typically a stamping of the initials MTB.
It is important to note that The Metals Art Company [MA] initially produced the first 10oz bars for MTB, serial range 1 to 5,000. JM produced them in wide and narrow formats, All Engelhard estimates this serial range 6,500 to 16,000. There appears to be a 1,500 serial number gap between MA, JM and Engelhard production runs. Our appreciation to Barry H. for contributing his knowledge on these MTB bars.
