grillwork, furniture and records which filled the interior of the Ott Assay Office
in Nevada City?
Sven Skaar, historian and
local dealer in California
antiques, knows the answer:
he has them.
ASSAY OFFICE SCALES---Sven Skaar, proprietor of the Pioneer Shop in the Ott
Assay Building in Nevada City, poses with the original scales from the assay office. Skaar owns the interior equipment from the old assay office..
In 1953, Skaar bought
everything that could be
moved out or pried loose
fromthe historic office
where Nevada's Comstock
bonanza was first displayed.
Contrary to rumor, Skaar
has kept this rare collection
in a complete form.
Probably the most dramatic relic from the office is
a huge bullion scale, one of
the first of its kind, It is in
storage, along with hundreds
of other items, large and
small,
Skaar says he would lke
to see the old building re‘stored by the city or the state
of a responsible agency as
might be possible under the
proposed scenic highway
plan. Andhe says that in such
an event he would return the
items, at cost, to the building which housed them for
almost a century.
