How and where to sell gold leaf skewings?

With all the hype on selling gold jewelry which is 16 or 18kt, why can't we sell our 23kt gold leaf? The only place that I found will only take pounds, not ounces. Does anyone know of a place that will take ounces? If not, I have been saving gold for nothing.

Hello Mr. Riedel,

Golly! How much gilding would you have to do to make a pound of skewings???

Wrights of Lymm(UK) reclaims waste gold. I have always wondered if they would do it for international customers... I do not know if it is by the ounce. It says they send a free waste bucket to gold reclaimers.

Check with W&B Gold Leaf, at least they are in US.

Hi Bill,

Mid-States Recycling & Refining
1841 Busse Hwy
Des Plaines, IL 60016
(800) 551-0083

They will only work with businesses, and since the patriot act you will have to prove you are a business, but they will purchase your skewings.

Good Luck

Hi Bill,
I always save my skewings when I'm backing up. I always end up using them for some sort of project so I'd say Keep em or send em to me and i'll put em to go use.
