I wonder what the pewter I have would work like, it's 92-6-2, 92%
tin, 6% antimony, 2% copper.

I thinbk Pewter is too brittle to be rolled into tubes.

You haven't tried working the stuff then, I can spin a tankard from a
flat disc without any anneals. In high school people regularly formed it
into tubes and soldered the joints. I have never seen it act in a
brittle fashion.
Then the stuff I thought was pewter must not have been.
Probably some cheap zinc imitation.

Yes, tin, antimoney and copper sounds like an alloy that should
be easily worked.
