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

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.

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.
