The bride and me have been stopping in consignment shops and thrist stores for years. Wish I would have read this post years ago.
First time I read this thread was about two weeks ago and have reread it a few times since. We have been collecting up stuff for about a week now and have about 10lbs of definate and about the same in probably/maybe.
If I set the pot on about 450-480 and take it one at a time, will this tell me if I have pewter on the maybe stuff? will the maybe stuff not melt at that temp? Not sure how to do this even after all this reading.
One more question: I am finding little candle holders and such that are stamped pewter but are maid in china-etc. passes the nick test but have not seen yall discussing oriental modern pewter.
