Bar Lead For Sale
These bars are cast of soft lead and are modeled after bars used in the wilderness trade on exhibit at the Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron Nebraska, and are made using similar techniques. There are two sizes available, one-half pound bars, and two-pound bars. The half-pound bar measure 11 inches by 1/2 inch and the two-pound bar with tapered sides measures approximately 11 inches by ¾ inch by .6 inches thick.
The half-pound lead bars sell for $2.50 each and the 2-pound lead bars for $5.50 each, plus actual shipping costs (or as close as I can figure). For more information I can be contacted by email, or I can be reached through a traditional dispatch at:
