If you look up the correct name of the alloy it is "Rose's Metal" named after its German inventor Valentine Rose the Elder (1736-1771). It is 50% Bismuth 25-28% Lead and 22-25% Tin and melts at 94-98*C or 201-208*F - Basically in boiling water. Think of the fun you can have when you serve your friends hot tea on April First and they stir their tea with spoons molded from Rose's Metal. Boy! That is STRONG tea. (But don't drink it because of the lead.)
