Is the linotype from your buddy Bob? I bought some separators from him,
VERY nice stuff! I've been using 75% wheel weights and 25% Bob's separators
alloy. Do you know how much more he has? I wouldn't mind some more for
stock, someday there won't be ANY linotype anywhere.

Oh..the only reason I brought it up..I bought a couple hundred pounds of
"good linotype" some years ago..and it was slightly softer than
wheelweights. About the consistancy of lard at 80F

Paid serious money for it too. I wasnt happy to have paid that much cash
for something I wound up shooting out of the muzzleloaders......

You got snookered! You can't scratch this stuff with your fingernail. But,
I'll have roger run a hardness test on it. The separators have a higher tin
content.

Aya..I got ****ed actually.

$2 a pound for 250 lbs of flashing lead with 25 lbs of wheelweights
mixed into the mix.

I didnt have a chance to actually test the stuff..it was delivered by a
friend who dumped it off and took a check from my wife while I was
working in LA. The seller was only somewhat known to my buddy. He got
****ed too, but for a lot less lead/money.

So Im always a bit...anxious about "linotype"

Yes, its from the same source, if you have his number, feel free to call and
get some more - the ebay starting price is what he sold it to you for, so go
direct to him.

Oh, by the way, here is another thing of interest to this group

a mitutoyo probe to go with the 192 series height gauges - it's like a super
precision indicator - could be useful for machine automation also
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=320583360011

I also picked up a huge new, factory sealed Mitutoyo micrometer head, .0002
resolution with two counters on the head - I can't find it in the catalog,

Ah - if I were I linotype seller (Bill ... ?), I'd take this as a
marketing lesson and sell my stuff in its original form (type sticks),
rather than melted into ingots. The buyer could be sure that it was
linotype.

But the alloy in type isn't always linotype. Had some type I got from
a scrap dealer that was separate pieces, not cast in lines, had to
change my alloy composition considerably to get it to cast right,
seemed like it was a lot higher in tin. I've bought linotype ingots,
with the loop in the end, that stuff worked out pretty well for making
#2 alloy.

Real linotype (line-of-type) is never in individual letter pieces. That
would be just plain "type". I'd guess that the plain type alloy is
harder than the linotype, since each piece is reused over and over.

"MonoType" was at one time very popular with printers and its
significantly harder than linotype.

well, those who bought from me know what they got. The original form is a
long ingot with a loop on the end that dips into the melt tank - those are
all gone. what is left is 2.5 pound ingots. and for under $2 per pound, I
am not going to send them out for assay. I have separators and I have the
type alloy, maybe a small amount of monotype too though that is mostly
gone - monotype alloy depends on the letter size. If you want linotype, you
can bid on the item, contact me directly, or decide to go elsewhere, of
course.

Bill, I'm not suggesting that your buyers didn't get honest-to-god 100%
linotype. I'm saying that the people who haven't bought from you (e.g.,
Gunner), and especially the people who don't know you (i.e., most of
your prospective eBay buyers) might feel more assured that they were
bidding on the real stuff if it was type sticks, rather than melted down
into ingots.

Bob

point taken, but once they are ingots, it's hard to unmelt them and turn
them back into sticks or other forms - these ingots have been that way for
decades. I sold the larger stuff first to help my friend make space, then
we sold the larger type faces of monotype to folks who used it for art, or
had printing presses, then we sold the smaller monotype for bullets (a bit
harder than linotype), and now we are trying to get rid of the last pile,
which is these ingots.
