schwinn brazing question

[Bendix]

Ran across some info regarding this frame. Schwinn used lead to smooth the welds back then.
From Sheldon's site.

If you have a bare frame, the material joining the tubes is a clue:
- Gold colored brass means you have a fillet-brazed model
- Soft grey lead over brass means you have an early fillet-brazed model from the 1930's and '40's. (A real collector's item!)

always nice to have some more confirmation, thanks!

I have a Iver Johnson frame with lead filler all over it. So soft you can make a mark in it with your finger nail. Check out Eastwood for leading products.
