Hello everyone. I'm new to the forums and came in hopes of pooling your expertise.
When we moved into our house, I found four of these "paperweights" in a drawer in one of the bathrooms off what was the previous owner's office. I only know that he was some kind of investment banker.
I'm enough of a fisherman to suspect these are simply lead given how heavy they are, but they are also very shiny. Maybe they are just more "pure" lead than what I'm used to? Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts.
They are NOT magnetic.
Edit: I can't seem to make the images appear. Here are links:
