So my employer just purchased an older property that I have happened to find several treasures on. Old guy was likely a hoarder of sorts, but he liked cool stuff. I came across a hundred or so, maybe more cast ingots (5.75#) with EWB on the bottom of the mold, and LINOTYPE stamped in the back. What is the going rate for linotype these days. I know it is not near as plentiful as it used to be. Thanks

If it really is type metal it is like gold! Not quite, actually, but Roto gets about 4$/lb for the stuff. Transportation is expensive so you will have to find some serious local casters. I am down to about my last 50# and will be sad once it is gone.

Postal flat rate boxes make shipping a little better.

That's true;the girls at the post office scowl at me as you can ship over 50 lbs. in the flat rate box. I have enough to last me to my end + have'nt needed to buy any in ages so have no idea what current prices are;but just like land,they are not making anymore of it anymore.Saying,if you think it's a fair price,buy all you can.

f you have in excess what you want to sell,let me know.NO'it is not more presious than gold but it is desired by casters.

I have in excess of 100lb. I bought this batch for a friend but has not got back with me.I don't need any more.It will cost $250.00 to ship the linotype.Turn key.

No good deed goes unpunished.Still waiting to hear if my "buddy" is going to take possession of the linotype + pay me back for placing the order.Its O.K.I try to never worry about what I can not change.
