    I purchased ingots from Midway 20 years ago like that. They had many different alloys that all looked like that. I purchased linotype, and mine had LINO stamped on them. I think you'll be OK assuming they are hardball alloy

    Check your local scrap yard to see if they have an xrf gun and whether they'll test your sample (for free, of course)

    Thank you, this is the information I was looking for. I still need to verify by sending a sample to BNE, or casting a boolit and testing hardness, but preliminary, just wanting to knownif anyone had purchased commercial ingots so marked, poured into such a unique ingot. Thanks.
