Another source of soft lead - clock counterweights?!

[MarkK]

Found these at an estate sale of a clock repairman. Solid soft lead. $5/21lbs. Beware of the iron weights!

It just goes to show, lead used to be everywhere.

Cool.

I'd melt them last.
I always liked having odd things on my desk for when people could come around and ask, "Hmmm,,, What it that"?
Or, "Wow, I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid".

I bet them are worth a LOT more sold as antique/vintage clock weights rather than melted down!
