    interest in high-tin organ pipe?

    I've got about 2k lbs of organ pipe available, but am hesitant to grab it unless I know I can move a lot of it to y'all (financial considerations).

    my research indicates that these pipes are tin/lead with possible trace elements of cu and antimony

    based on this, I calculated the SG of my samples, did some math, and what I have in hand is, per my calculations just under 40% tin. (38.5%)

    just wondering if anyone here would be interested in this at about $3/lb (would have this professionally assayed for exact comp before selling)

    Sounds like a proper name for that alloy would be "solder."

    I was thinking the same thing, but want to be up front and honest.
    besides, people would wonder why I was selling solder, and it was showing up in ingots.

    I think 20#'s would look good along with my other ingots!

    Count me in pending your assay.
