Lot of 2 replica items: a small, gold, sword-shaped toothpick made to look like ones found on the wreck; and a small, rectangular silver bar with markings made from silver taken from an original (large) ingot. 8.9 grams total, each about 1-1/4" long. These two souvenirs were purchased at a traveling show in Washington State (which demonstrates how far and wide the Atocha popularity has reached across the country), both fairly often-seen items, the toothpick ornate and attractive but the little silver ingot (with markings like on the real bars on one side and "ATOCHA 1622" on the other) rather crude and starting to tone. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida.
