US: Uncertain Price of Chemistry Utensils, 1896

From the 1896 Assay Catalogue of Richards & Co., NYC: imported German Platinum utensils (G. Siebert, Hanau.)  It is likely these items were sold at higher prices, given the surging price of Platinum in 1896.

1896: 1 Troy Ounce Platinum (manufactured)  = USD$ 14.00 - 23.33.

1895: 1 Troy Ounce Platinum (ingot, NYC)  = USD$ 10.72

1896: 1 Troy Ounce Platinum (ingot, NYC)  = USD$ 13.75
