I have an ingot marked "BLATCHFORD LINOTYPE REPLACEMENT". Does anyone know the composition of this alloy?

It is most likely a tin replacement alloy to be added to the Linotype alloy to freshen it for better casting properties.
sooner or later person or persons with print press experience will stumble in here. Can you post a picture?

I don't know how to post pic. Can someone post it for me?

It was called "plus" metal by my boss. Supplemented the tin and antimony in remelted linotype.
