I just found an ingot of unknown metal and was wondering what it might be. It was cast by E. R. Hoyt of St. Louis. I think it might be Antimony but thought I'd ask here. Pics to follow when camera battery is charged. Thanks.

It has "GENUINE-A" in large letters but nothing else which might tell me the metal.

Googled it a wile ago, It is mostly lead with alittle tin and antimony. May have been used in the making of musical instruments around 1915. If nothing else, it looks cool. I think I will spare it from a fiery demise.
