My latest find from a Goodwill I rarely visit. Paid $6.30 for both plates. The 1983 weighs 4.5lbs and the 1981 is 3lb5oz. I looked up the artist and even though he has past away, he is renowned...

I'm still a newbie but is it just me or is something wonky about that photo? I can't really make out the size of the ingots, but if that is a regular sized double door and a cast five gallon type...

Thanks for the quick replies. I have all PPE, sawdust, wax and such on hand. I sorted (I think) all the lead from the zinc/iron but, because of what I have read will be going slow on the heat as...

All,

All,
I probably should not have even posted my comment about what happened. Just repeating what the worker told me was not meant to be a slam on anyone from this forum. I learned a lesson...

I wish I was near you as well. If only someone near Tucson had the same offer, I'd be there in a flash. I have a little hoard, compared to most of you, of pewter and range scrap/WW that I'm waiting...

You both are correct about the prices at Goodwill. The bowl that used to hold some kind of dish in it's center was marked $15 but when I pointed out it was missing the glass they took $5 for it,...

It's not a big deal either way. The wife thinks they are pretty and they need to be saved. For $1 a piece to make her happy was well worth it. Corbell happens to have a store up in Phoenix. I...

Thank you for all the inputs. My Google foo was strong tonight and I was able find out that they are plated silver from the Corbel Silver Co. You can buy these for the princely sum of $169 a piece...

First of all, I've been lurking for some time learning my self up as much as I can before asking repetitive questions to you all. Now I have a yet another thing to scrounge for at yard sales, thrift...
