I bought seven grey colored, cast metal drinking cups with handles. I
suspect that they may be pewter, but I am not sure. What is the
easiest way to recognize pewter?

They have a cast mark on the bottom, like FTR or HTR.

Could the marks be RWP? Anyway, cast bottom marks = modern piece.

I do not think that it could be RWP. It looks more like RTR, HTR, FTP,
or something.
I took some pictures:

The logo is visible on two large scale pictures.


Those are cast pewter Abbey Bell Tankards. 1 pint size.
Most of them sell for around 50-100 bucks each. More if they are heavy
and polished.


Steve, thanks a lot. I am highly impressed with those mugs. Thanks
you, I would never figure it out mysqlf. What does the logo mean?
