My wife knows the owners of the local antique store they had a bunch of reloading stuff that I was interested in. My wife finally brought it home and I went through it. Many of the boxes were moldy, a lyman ideal 55 powder measure was seized up the original box and papers were covered in mold, a lyman 450 with rust but still works, another piece of casting equipment that looks similar to the 450 that is seized up, brass and gas checks. I also had some dies and reloading trays along with a ATM 5290 oscillating wet stone with buffing wheel that still works.
The thing in question is the lee melting pot. All I can tell from looking it up is its a 10lb pot but it appears the previous owner just left their lead in there as it definitely doesn't look like it would hold 10lbs. If I heat the pot back up should I be able to get the lead out? I don't plan on casting and am looking to sell some of the stuff off to recoup the $50 spent. I figure a clean and empty pot would sell faster than a dirty full one.
