People sell lead type on eBay, arranged by the font. I have a printers tray with a whole set and have been meaning to arrange some and list it. For that, you pack it up and ship it in the one-price priority mail box--you get a bargain when you're shipping lead.

Some of them sell it for folks who want the font, and the little pieces are bundled as loose lead, to be melted for fishing lures, etc.

I'm looking for jobs for a bored 16-year-old. I think we'll work on a brick patio out back. I got started a while ago, but it grew over with lemon balm that escaped from a pot. I have done some research and will pay more attention this time, and have him help me. Another thing I can have him do is research some of the eBay items I have. I'd like him to find a job, he'd like to find a job, but we can't afford him to have a driver's license and don't have a vehicle for him to drive, so it has to be fairly close by. I have several ideas, but meanwhile, I'll let him see how a few of these things around the house work. (He left a note on the bathroom door with his observation that the toilet was running because the rubber flapper was old and crusty. He shut the door so he didn't have to listen to it. I found the replacement I'd bought a few weeks ago and changed it, but we'll head over to Home Depot for another and I'll let him do that repair in the other bathroom.)
