You are likely correct in your assessment... this would have been used to make anything lead related.

Welcome to the forum. As others have said, if it's lead, then it could have been used for a multitude of items. Fishing weights come to mind for me.

A bar or ingot could have many uses.

Your piece looks cup shaped?
Could have capped a pipe.
Or could have been a hammer face for a non marring hammer / mallet.

Welcome from way down in S.E.Arkansas.Neat piece of lead.May have been a piece of stock to be melted into some useful item or as releventchair said a non marring hammer head.
