Someone used it for making bullets. Selling it without disclosure was quite irresponsible of them.
that's even a thing? djeebis
Oh yeah. Bullets, fishing lures, etc. It's pretty common to have one dedicated to lead out here in the rural parts of the US.

Cast iron is fairly ubiquitous in Appalachia. 🙂
