METALS. 



THE entries in this table comprise lead, pewter vessels, solder, copper 

 and brass vessels, occasionally gold-leaf, quicksilver, guineas, tin, and 

 al times silver plate. The price is often that of old metal sold. 



Lead is bought by the pound, the hundredweight, and the fother, and, 

 when run into pipes, by the foot or yard. It is designated as new lead, 

 old lead, cramp lead, mason's lead, sash weights, sheet lead, and mold 

 pipes, and occasionally it is sold ready cast into pumps or milk bowls. 



There is one entry of brass wire by the oz. 



Unless otherwise designated the material referred to is lead.
