    lessens the surface tension on the lead to cause better fill out in the moulds. ...or so I have been told.

    And increases the ductility of the resultant alloy.

    Just a public service anouncement. If you pick up a piece of Boardman & Hart pewter, you might want to reconsider melting it down.

    I bought this plate at a local thrift store for $4.00 plus tax. Put it on Ebay and it sold for $86.00. Must have some collector value. 8.5" diameter. 8 ounces.

    What do y'all think about these? Avon sales awards from the late 80's - early 90's. They scratch easily with a key. Fairly hefty (I'd say 3lbs each?). They are all coating with some kind of finish. One thing that makes me think no is I could not bend the brim of the hat on the one on the left.

    For the right price, I'd buy one and see how a chunk of it floated in a pot of known pewter brought just to liquidus.

    Thought about doing that. Price isn't that great though.

    Then walk away. There will be more around the corner.

    If you can't bend the brim of that hat they aren't pewter. I found a candle stick holder that was massive, I could still bend it with thumb pressure.
    Semper Fi!


    Currently casting for .223, .308, .30-06, .30-40 Krag, 9mm, .38/.357, 10mm, 44 Mag and 45 ACP.

    I like strange looking boolits!

    I suspect you're right.

    3.16 pounds for $14.97. Not stellar, but okay.

    Going to see if these picture frames are still around on Saturday when they're 50% off.

    I included the mullingar mark this one is stamped made in Ireland. Never seen the ****et mark before, it was a hefty piece and three collectable spoons. 14$ Cdn for 3 pounds not bad up here and much cheaper then solder.
