So just before the holiday I was surfing Craigslist looking for something unrelated to boolits of shooting when I happened to see an ad for "Bar solder" and it was in my own town.
Turned out to be about 6 pounds of "HALF.....CMC.....HALF" bar solder.
I am thinking it is Crane Metal Corp. 50-50 bar solder. 4 or 5 full sticks, plus a few half sticks.
NOt bad for a negotiated price of $5 (down from $10 because it was 'corroded'...)
As I was leaving the guy says, "Oh, by the way, do you want this?"
"This" turned out to be a full bar linotype ingot with the ear-loop broken off.
For another $5, how could I say no????!!!!????[smilie=w:[smilie=w::mrgreen:
