Not sure if this thread is now defunct, and no-one watching, but Ive just picked up some lead calme making equipment from a farm sale - old lead calme wooden transportation troughs, some lead 'book' moulds for making the lead pigs, and some milling blocks for extruding the 'pigs' through to make the finished lead calmes.
Might be of interest to those who want to make some ? !
All quite interesting. Not sure of the age of it all but its certainly not too modern !
