Also known as pewterware.
Went browsing through some local antique stores and flea markets yesterday with my wife & daughter. They were looking for a small antique table, I was looking for treasure.
Found three pieces, an American made bowl and a teapot, and a Chinese container, probably used to hold tea.
The three items weighed jut over three pounds and I spent a total of $7.00. Even if they are conservatively 80% tin, I figure I did well.
These will help sweeten the 150lb of clip on wheel weights and 30 lb of stick on wheel weights I have waiting to be made into ingots.
Anybody else here use old pewterware as a source of tin?
