Have you ever seen any lead pipe that is as small as it appears?
I can only guess it's around 1/2" OD pipe, Judging by the bucket it is in.

Years ago, I bought a large chunk of beer cooler line, the scrapper called it "block Tin." It was old, and was about 1/2" and had similar yellowish oxidation. Judging by my melt temp investigation, It was pure Tin.

Pure Lead usually has blue-grey oxidation.
