Lead Balls (3)

These items at Smith’s Tavern are three half balls of lead.  Lead is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials.  It is soft and malleable and also has a relatively low melting point, so it is ideal for casting into various shapes.  Lead could be used in fishing lures and sinkers, bullets or even toy soldiers.
