A week ago I got something similar and it included a 90deg 3" or 4" toilet joint, about 15lb complete with brass mounting ring full of beeswax. I called it a poop shoot and melted it. Almost pure lead, it's 5.5BHN.

I found some lead vent pipe. Harder than sink drain pipe goose necks. It rings when struck. I avoid the soldered joints now since I have so much pewter.
