<p>65.102.117.113: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Pewter''' is an alloy of [[tin]] and a variety of other metals. Pewter [[tankard]]s are quite common. [[Pilgrim's badge]]s were often made of cast pewter. <br /> [[Period]] pewter often contained [[lead]], a toxic metal. Modern pewter is an alloy of tin, copper and antimony and is more properly called [[Britannia Metal]].<br /> <br /> Since pewter has a low melting point, it is relatively easy to work with. Moulds can be made in soap stone or cuttlebone. <br /> <br /> Pewter was eventually replaced by [[porcelain]] [[table wares]] during the [[18th Century]]<br /> <br /> === External Links ===<br /> * http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewter</div>
