I use alot of pewter. I collect it up and melt it down to mix in my alloy. It probably goes for about $3 to $4 a pound. I don't think selling a bowl on here will get you anywhere. Hopefully, what you got is pewter. Most stuff out there being advertized as pewter is not. If it is Wilton, throw it in the garbage, it's not pewter.
The bowl i have is made by the pewter crafters of cape cod so i think it is real pewter
Find it's value as a collectible bowl before ya melt it down. Heirlooms can't be replaced, but tin can.
Absolutely. Go on eBay and see what sells (not what's asked). Then melt your cheap tin with confidence.Quote:

Just don't let your wife see it. They all are collectible to my wife. I have yet to find a piece that I don't mind firing against the range backdrop.Quote:
