Just a little.

My guess just from sight, is they are near pure. Give it the old fingernail test.
The ones on the right are what was called "Plumbers Lead" ... in the past with cast iron pipes the lead was melted and used in jointed connections in sewer lines ... hence the name "plumbers lead" octagon and round shapes most common .
Not used in water lines so don't tell me how dangerous it is .
I have always used them as plain lead ... there might be other elements in the plumbers lead but for all practical purposes ... consider it soft lead .

Thanks Gary and the rest for the replies to a miss category post. Was hoping some might be a “solder” with high tin content. Not the case I see and it will be rendered soon as soft lead for my uses.
