Very nice find, looks like part of a printing press plate.

Thank you for sharing.

What Professor said. It is linotype alloy (lead/antimony) for printing.

Neat find! I think it is circa 1911 - this is from the The Greenwood Index newspaper (South Carolina) - the same ad ran in a few other newspapers around the same time.
