A older guy from the club needed some wire ing done so he could sell his house
So I did it for him and told him no charge , only took me a hour
And a few $ in supplys
He insisted on giving me something
So he ask me if I wanted his lead stash as payment, as he was moving into assisted living in less than a month
Of course
I was shocked
About 1000 lb , maybe more in ingots
Each pile was labled .....Range , Wheel Weights , Pure or Lyman #2
But he also had 4 5 gallon buckets to take
1 3/4 buckets was Linotype in strips
The other 2 buckets were labled Monotype and Linotype were each 2/3 full
But it was all in about 1/2 lb ingots
Each ingot was cast in a mold that had Monotype or Linotype
In raised letters , sort of like a Lyman or Lee mold
My quick scratch test says they are hard and they ring
The ingots are about 2 1/4" x 1 3/8" x 1/2"
Are these real Lino and Mono ingots ?
