Scored a few "pewter" items and they are of what I would call "newer" production.
Looks and sounds like pewter but is only stamped "real pewter" on the bottom.
Any way to test it?

Melts easily with a propane torch on an edge. Bends easily (for a metal) and creaks when bent. But if it says "real pewter" you should be fine.

I've seen Real Wilton Pewter (RWP) which is an aluminum alloy. I've also seen real pewter along with a maker's mark which is the real deal. The melt temp of most pewter is around 450degF.
