Nice little pewter score

[Boolseye]

$25 at a local antique store. A little over 5#. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180619/4cc72def9df6c05406bf82646072584b.jpg

Well, where's the story behind that find?

Nice find. They all look good from here.

Most of the pewter you see is so ugly looking you couldn't hardly give it away. I found alot recently for reasonable prices. Much is so overpriced that it will still be there in 10 yrs, at least that's what I tell the stubborn dealers who won't come down on the price.

Nice score! I wish I could find pewter here.

it was in a box in front of an antique store in my hometown, marked "Pewter, $3 each"
naturally I bought it all.

Nice our local dump finally started up a take it leave it center where people can leave good items vs toss them.
My first walk through found 2 pewter trays.
Left some unwanted coffee mugs.
The amount of good quality hockey gear was shocking.

Played hockey growing up, my skates are growing mold in the attic.

I was grateful these guys just wanted to dump this stuff, man it smelts up easy!!

I am also into a very nice wheel weight stash at .35/lb (sorted coww!!)
Still not a lot of casters around here.
