I came upon a few lead solder bars marked National Lead Co. with 111 on the end. The only info I can fine is they closed there doors in 1933. And the 111 stands for 111 broadway street New York.

Should I use it or sell it to a collector lol. And if I should use it what the heck is it?

Thank You for any info. Trying to :castmine:

Probably 50/50 - maybe not, but treat it as though it is 50/50 and use it to sweeten WW's, 1 lb of 50/50 to 20-30 lbs WW's. Should produce ~ 2% tin in your alloy.

Well the problem is I have no WW lol. Only Pure and Lino. As of now I am trying HARD to get the Nose of some HP .44 Cal Boolits to fill out. I am mixing 16 pounds of Pure with 4 pounds of lino and 13OZ of 95/5 solder. This is for one pot full of Lead.
