Good morning, everyone -

Well, sometimes you just get lucky. I find myself in imminent possession of 1.5 tons of honest-to-Pete linotype. I'm going to squirrel most of it away for special project work (the backroom boys are working on a prototype Depleted Linotype Anti-Terrorist Weapon - DLATW for short) but some will be sold.

I am contemplating the sharing of this great good fortune in 50-lb. flat-rate boxes. The THR price will be $1.40/lb., less of course the 5% THR discount. I will have it available on the webpage and probably put it up on eBay where we already have our virgin foundry lead for sale ( http://cgi.ebay.com/Bullet-Casting-...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item33523f4599 ). I'll have to figure out how to jigger the special price we're offering you from an ordering standpoint because we'll be selling it for considerably more than $1.40/lb. to the general public.

Anyhow, just a heads-up. Linotype is hard to find these days and is great for alloying up lead that's too soft or making rock-hard projectiles that shatter on impact (22 BHN.)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Better Get In On This...

You never know when you're gonna run up on a moveable type setter at a yard sale... :D

Watching for the details - and Thank You, Brad!

(I'm surprised eBay lets you sell the e-vill plumbum on its PC site)
 
I'll take some!

Brad, that's mighty generous of you. Let us know how to go about ordering, also can we get more than one box? Not trying to be greedy, but as you say it's getting hard to find.

Well, they obviously haven't seen the auction verbiage. They'd yank it in a second if they read it.

But I don't care! I only put it up on eBay to tweak their left-wing SanFran sensibilities. And we've made maybe 40-50 sales on it there, which is purely a bonus by-product!
 
Thanks Brad for making this available. My email says the packages were shipped today. I'll probably see them monday or tuesday. Boy, is my mailman gonna be mad!:evil: I'll report back on the condition of the packages and contents.
 
The packages arrived on monday. In great condition, by the way. The lead looks good, I'll report again after I have a chance to cast some boolits. The postman got me back for the heavy packages by leaving some ladies magazine in my mail box! Was for another resident in our complex.:neener:
