I stopped by the thrift store tonight on the way home from work... mostly the same junk as last week. I did spot something different and checked it's marking, but it didn't say Pewter. It is fairly soft and for $1.16 I figured I'd take a chance and bring it home.
The marking is incomplete, but is one oval about 3/4" with another oval inside of it about 1/2" with the following markings which are partially missing
?NAN
?AN KATIN
INDONESIA
178627178628
The material seems softer than the other piece that I brought home last week with a known pewter stamp. I am able to impress my thumbs into this piece.
I put a bic lighter under the lip, and after about 10 seconds it was melting and dripping (looked like my bench under my Lee pot :-).
Any ideas?
Thanks - Randy
