weight belt

You know those old weight belts with the exposed lead weights?

I have one and I'm wondering if the lead is hardened with another
metal like antimony?

Thanks..

Sometimes, not always.

Old? Hell, they're still produced although some companies have figured out
that they can charge even more for them if they coat them with plastic...

You might find a bit of anything in them depending upon who cast the lead...
Using tire balance weights, lead roof flashings, shotgun pellets, various
pieces of scrap lead from metal recycling busines, and lead acid batteries
are all things that have been used by various individuals when they were
casting their own weights...
