Leads / Slugs


Need Strip Material?

As of 7/25/07, we are unable to supply cast leads and slugs from type metal of any size or quantity. Our supplier, Earl Jones, recently passed away at age 80. He supplied most of the recent U.S. needs for this material. We suggest at least 2 other sources, M&H Type in San Francisco or Bell Type and Rule in Los Angeles. I am not aware of any other commercial sources. Expect prices to be relatively high compared to what Earl and NA Graphics was charging, and this is partly due to significant price increases in the metals used in casting this material--lead, tin, and antimony. We will try to find an alternative supplier.

Leads and slugs are provided in two foot strips, with a minimum order of five pounds for 2 pt through the larger sizes, and one pound for brass products. Note that the figure 5 or some larger figure has to be placed in the quantity box to order the minimum quantity for 2 pt and above. Discounts are given for orders in excess of 25 pounds. Need a large number of leads or slugs cut to size? Give us a call! Typemetal is heavy in relation to number of pieces received. 12 point and larger sizes should be ordered in sufficient quantity to have enough material to work with. 12 point and larger do not readily cut in hand operated lead and rule cutters.
