Hey guys I picked up this ingot and was wondering if anyone has seen this before. I got it from a automotive machine shop and it seems harder than pure lead not as heavy either.

Could it possibly be a Babbitt metal? Used in a lot of the older machines to pour bearings.
Looks less like an ingot and more like a part or piece designed to fit someplace. Not that this helps track it down, just an observation.
