Lead Weight? bar? someones project?

[RickeyB]

My dad found this in the sixties where an old barn had been. This lead bar was around our house as I was growing up my. My dad would bring it out and ask the old-timers if they had every seen anything like it. Can't accurately weigh it tonight. I am guessing at 16 to 24 ounces. Maybe bulk lead sold for making bullets? Maybe someone just melted lead and poured in a mold of some kind? Commercially made for some kind of farm tool part?

Thanks for looking

I'd say a glob of lead someone melted into a mold of some kind, I use cupcake trays. A lot of people use a melting pot like the one pictured. An ingot like that would work perfect in a small lead furnace. Just my 2cents
