Hi all,
Last night a friend of mine gave me about 100 pounds of Linotype lead that is mostly still setup for printing and I'm wondering if it may have any historical value over scrap for bullet making. There is one block that is school report cards and just a few adds. About 50 pounds of jumbled letters too.
 
...don't know the advantage of one over the other...but from a bullet maker's standpoint you are a lucky man! :)
 
from the little reading i've done if you have a complete set of letters, then it might be worth more as is. i would google around for a printing press type forum or something to that effect.
 
Cool I'll look into the complete ones, but the jumble is going to make some fine ingots. Apparently these were all found at the dump a few years ago
