i think its platinum
What is it from?
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I highly doubt that is platinum. It kinda looks like a big heat sink. It's probably just a big piece of aluminum.
adc telecommunications really old stuff
the fingers are stainless but the little nib is ?
i know its not a heat sink it was a phone system of some sortQuote:

Bring it to a gold buying shop or test it yourself with at kit like this: Amazon.com: Gold Testing Kit 10K 14K 18K 22K Silver Platinum: Home & Kitchen
just ordered the kit :) thanks
if it turns out to be platinum is there differnt grades >?<
I don't think there are different grades, but from some Googleing it seems there are different alloys of the metal. I've never been able to find or get my hands on any platinum, so I have no Idea.
Sorry to bust your bubble but they are not platinum. They can be either palladium or they can have a small amount of gold in them.
That looks like Palladium to me. I found a bunch of that inside old Hammond organs. Worth keeping though, Palladium is like $630 an oz.
I think at 652 a toz thats still better than stainless right?Quote:

They look similar to the tiny contacts behind a rotary dial telephone dial, 'cept they are a gold colour.
