Title: Re: Wierd lead object Post by: Meatslicer on September 05, 2013, 11:33:25 AM Looks like a block end for a lead water pipe. It looks like it has a soldered join between the narrower bit and the thick bit?
Its the sort of thing that was used to block off an outside loo water supply. We had something like it when my dad couldnt hammer flat the lead pipe we had at the end of the garden.
