Unknown ingots

[Gunslinger1911]

Hello gentlemen,

I have a couple ingots, searching the net hasn't turned up anything.

Hopefully the brain trust here can help.

First is a classic ingot, 3 connected weighs about 6 lbs. Reads "FEDERATED A S & R CO"

Second is a small round ingot, 5 connected, weighs about 4 lbs. Reads "N. L. CO. HOYT"

Thanks !

AS&RCO is now Asarco, American smelting and refining company. That might help with the first ingot.

YA, I thought plumbers lead as SIL carried them in. Then he dropped them on the concrete, they have a pretty good ring to them.
I'm gonna have to saw a small piece off and hit it with the Lee hardness tester.
