I agree with the others, that what you have is probably either foundrytype or monotype. Either should be much harder than your test are showing. If its fairly cheap I would go back for the remainder of it. This stuff is quickly getting to be a thing of the past.
Looks like I missed out on the rest of their stash. They were to call me after their yard sale and did not. They are not returning my calls so I'm guessing I missed out. The 40lbs I bought and the lino I have in stock is probably enough for me so it's not too big a deal.

Too bad, but we all have stories about scores that got away. What you did get will sweeten a lot of alloy.
