What was the main material used in Doubleday's white metal casts?

  • White metal

  • Gold

  • Silver

  • Bronze

Answer

White metal was the primary material used in Doubleday's white metal casts. This alloy, composed primarily of tin, lead, and antimony, is known for its silvery-white appearance and malleability. White metal's low melting point and ability to be cast into intricate shapes made it ideal for producing detailed and durable figurines.
