I have an ingot that is marked "AIM" and "2/6".
I checked their website but AIM only makes soldering alloys now.
This ingot is probably about 15 years old.
Does it seem likely the the "2/6" marking indicates 2% tin and 6% antimony?

According to this webpage you would be correct.
Lead based alloys (http://www.alchemycastings.com/lead-products/jewelry.htm)

you'll find it in the right hand column 11 rows down

Hope that helps!
