Printing shims and spacers. Are these made from lino like the letters are?
The guy at the yard scanned the battery cell links for me and they showed to be 96.6% Pb 3% Sb .40 Fe.
Has anyone messed with these links?

Buy it all...more scrap yards turn into hoarding yards everyday.

I need to check around for other yards that are willing to sell to individuals.

Those bigger, single letter blocks are monotype......very nice stuff!

Thanks for letting me know about the mono. I had assumed that it was all Lino.
Can you or anyone tell me what the spacers or shims are made out of?

The spacers are usually a softer alloy. Try bending them....if they break they are lino, if they bend, they aren't.
