In Response To: Re: Lead for weights (King)

Batteries would have a lot too , but you'd have to deal with the acid. I boiled two batteries bone dry charging them over about 3 years. Had I thought about it , I would have just busted the cases open and scrubbed the lead with baking soda and water to neutralize any residual acid. But then again , I don't pour my own. I might have to if I ever use up my stockpile of sinkers.

I think some of the old , old windows had sash weights made of lead , but I won't swear to it. I know the weights in my grandfather clock are lead filled brass cylinders
