Best Answer

None. It's 92% tin and the remainder is antimony and bismuth (8%).

"Today newly manufactured pewter should be a lead free alloy usually being hardened with additions of antimony and copper, containing over 90% tin. Other elements such as silver and bismuth are sometimes used. In the past pewter often contained lead but as awareness has grown into the harmful effects of lead it should now have been eliminated."
