    Has anyone seen any pewter similar to this? A sticker on the bottom says "Made in India". Is it even pewter?

    Probably not. Most of the stuff I see from India is pot metal.

    I'll bet you a beer that is Pewter. Telling from photographs without seeing stamped-marks is hard, but the giveaway for me is the Pewter hinge on the lid, it sure does look like the Indian Pewters I have sent to the melting pot (RIP). The patina looks Pewter. Dig the Bakelite handle too.

    Man, make tea, that looks too good to melt... I have an increasing collection of Pewter I bought to melt, and sometimes, this old handmade stuff really gets under my skin and I just can't melt it. I see a retirement business ahead as my local Petwer museum..

    In no way trying to offend, but I'd take the bet.

    It's not in my possession, yet...so all I have are the pictures. The spout looks soldered to the body but the sharp corners are what threw me off. It is listed on my local craigslist, I'm going to try to go look at it in the next couple days.

    Well, imashooter2 is partially right. It is not pewter and its not zamac pot metal. They look like silver plating over what is probably a copper nickel alloy. There were no marks of any kind stamped anywhere. They looked good in pictures but it became fairly obvious once I examined them in person.

    Better hope the bleeding hearts aren't watching this thread. They will want to know why it's not "Genuine Black Pewter".

    Pewter pictures and hallmarks...

    My wife, bless her heart, got this at a yard sale for me. She knows I am on the lookout for pewter. This is pretty light and feels like aluminum, or something similar, to me. Weight is 8 oz including the glass bottom. I think I know what the consensus will be but thought I would check.

    Tell me the news...........



    Thank you!

    Rivets in the handle are not usually pewter. They would solder them, being pewter.

    It's a nice looking stein whether or not it's pewter. Put it on the desk and fill it with pencil or pens or M & M's.
