There was also some made in the style of Colonial pieces.&nbsp; THe pewter you can sell to people who make fishing weights, and at scrap yards. Weighted sterling pieces are tissue-thing silver over a steel armature and cement, chalkware or wax.&nbsp; I call it sterling tinfoil for a reason. You can sell it, but only at scrap value, which isn&#039;t much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
