Pewter is dull grey and heavy for it's size when compared to aluminum. Touch the surface of the object. If it feels slightly rough to the touch and has tiny pits and scratches it has accumulated with age it is probably pewter.

Then to a sample of the solution add potassium iodided solution. If there was lead in the pewter, you will get a distinctive yellow precipitate of lead iodide, PbI2.

Is there a test to determine something is stainless steel and not aluminum?
Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel
