    Type Metal

    I have some excess type metal I would like to sell but don't know a price in todays world. Someone said $3/lb.
    Here is a pic of what I have. Any help would be appreciated

    Looks like very weathered foundry type from a letter press....some letters and mostly spacers.

    Do a search on here (upper right hand corner of this screen) to see what going prices are these days. I have several hundreds of pounds of it but don't sell it....use it in my 3 antique letter presses when I get the urge to print something the "olde schoole" way.
