I just recieved my "Museum of the Fur Trade Quarterly" and thought I should mention a few things about the bar lead since I already posted some information before I saw the ad.
The ad in the quarterly says the bars weigh just over a pound, but they weigh only 8 ounces or a half pound. They might vary a little depending on how much lead is poured into the mold, but not very much.
The ad also says the ST.LOUIS BAR LEAD version is of a later, buffalo hunter, period, but I thought it was earlier than the ST. LOUIS SHOT TOWER CO. version.
In the museum the tag on display with the bar lead reads:
"Top four lead bars marked 'ST. LOUIS SHOT TOWER CO'. Found with skeleton of trapper in Wasatch Mountains. Bottom bar is earlier type marked 'ST. LOUIS BAR LEAD'. Found near Blacks Fork in Wyoming."
I'm sure James Hanson will get to the bottom of this, but if you want the earlier lead, I think it is the ST. LOUIS BAR LEAD, according to the tag on display, (and get two of them if you want a pound of lead). All money goes to the museum.

Hi..Just found your site and am very impressed....don't think that I can
become a mountain man...but enjoy learning the ways....I have medical
problems....which limit my activities....
But I do some blacksmithing and have a percussion cap
muzzleloader....would like to go to a rendezous and see how things work,
but live in West Virginia and not sure of how to find out about things
like that or even if they have them back east....I know that all the
rendezous during the fur trapping era were in the west.....So if no
problem,enjoy reading about mountain men on this list.....thanks Mike
