I don't know that I've ever even picked up a pewter piece, so I have no idea what things weigh.

Good deal for ingots, or no?

If they all have that touchmark then they're all pewter. There's between 3-4 lbs total weight so that's $15-$20/lb. You can get ingots shipped to you for $9-$10/lb from the swappin & sellin forum.

Thanks for the info!

Way over scrap cost, and I wouldn't bet a dime on the tray actually being pewter. You can find pieces exactly like those in the pictures and hallmarks thread. I would estimate well under 3 pounds of pewter with the tray being plated steel.
