I have an opportunity to pick up some scrap lead from a print shop that is closing their doors. Since I am pretty new to this, I have a couple of questions.
1. What is the likely composition “lead spacing”? I am guessing pure lead.
2. They have several buckets of scrap. I am guessing it may be a mix of lead and linotype.
I am going to try and make a deal on “all I can carry”. Any idea on $/lb, I will have to smelt it all. I am thinking anything less than a $1 per pound might not be to bad.
