A colonial pewter-er is much like a blacksmith. It forges items out of a mix of metals called pewter. Pewter is mostly made of tin. After heating pewter bars they would pour it into a soapstone mould. They mostly make dishware, but may make things like medallions. I hope this was helpful!

How is pewter produced?
Pewter is a metal alloy, traditionally between 85 and 99 percent tin, with the remainder commonly consisting of copper, antimony and lead. Copper and antimony act as hardeners while lead is common in the lower grades of pewter Pewter is cast like most metals, but at a lower temperature. Modern pewters must contain at least 90% tin to be considered a pewter. They also no longer contain appreciable amounts of lead, which has been replaced by copper, antimony and bismuth
How can you tell silver from pewter?
silver will most likely have the symbol 925 imprinted on it somewhere. as for telling if something is pewter or not, I'm still trying to work that out. "Pewter contains lead and will leave a pencil-like mark when drawn across a piece of paper." Actually, pewter can (and used to, exclusively) contain lead along with other metals but modern alloys contain tin (92%-95%), copper(up to 2.5%) and subtitute ANTIMONY (less than 2%) for LEAD. There are standards about the amount of antimony added to the alloy in order that the finished pewter product is food-safe. Try this link for further information: http://www.pewtersociety.org/care.HTML The difference between SILVER and PEWTER should be readily apparent as pewter is so much softer than silver. Pewter can be carved with a sharp tool with relative ease: silver can not. Even if it doesn't contain lead pewter will still leave a mark when scratched on a hard surface (but so will silver...just a mark of a different gray).
