jewelry silversmith blanks - ancient silversmith's tools

jewelry silversmith blanks

ASCAS presented the images of ancient silversmith's tools from Planche V 'Outils' of L'Encyclopèdie Diderot & D'Alambert, coupled to the table of the corresponding 'legend' containing the French name of each tool. I'm still unable to offer the complete English translation of the page, but some useful information was obtained from the RIO GRANDE (Albuquerque) sale catalog "Tools & Equipment 2004".
