I don't know much about it, but do not melt it! I mean, why would you? It is obviously worth more, even as a conversation piece, than a melted nothing.

HH!

I agree with TBGO.Certainly at least a conversation piece as is.Melted = nothing.I did a quick google check and it seems Edlow Lead Co. was started about 1950s-60s,recycling the lead out of batteries.Great CW finds!! Love those bullets.Tell us more about the site.WTG on the finds!!HH Good luck with the rest.
