I did a.big smelt of pewter and.ended up with 44 pounds of ingots. About 30 pounds were Christmas ornaments and a huge ricker pewter statue, with the balance marked food service items. Since this was a big load, I had bne test it for me. To my considerable surprise, it was roughly 51% lead, 44% tin, 5% antimony, and a hint of copper. Guess Christmas stuff is leaded, heh. I only averaged about 3.50 a pound, so no worries.
