[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3287705, member: 41653"] Probably none of them are pewter. Pewter is non-magnetic. I have never seen any pewter to be silver plated. Pewter seems heavy for size. Pewter is soft. You can mark it with your thumbnail. If it's a vase, platter or pitcher, you can bend an edge easily. Pewter has a certain feel to it - slick, almost greasy. Pewter will be hallmarked on the back/base. After you spend money on several not-pewter, and finally catch some pewter, you will see the difference. after a while, you can spot it from across the room. If you need some tin, PM me. ETA: If you see the small trays that say "Our Daily Bread" on it, stay away. 99.9% of them are not pewter. Some will even say something like "pewterex" on the back. "Pewterex" is aluminum . "Mexican Pewter" is aluminum. Most of us, myself included, have fallen in that trap. [/QUOTE]
