Has anyone a small quantity of type metal I can relieve them of for
beer tokens? Either as a lump or as actual type?

I need to cast a slug into the undamaged inner end of a female spline
so that I can make a shaper tool to produce a replacement. (Type metal
contains small amounts of antimony which expands on cooling thus
foming a tight and accurate cast)

(The slug I need will be about 20mm diam by 10mm thick)
