Getting antimony and tin to sweeten the alloy will be the trick.

To paraphrase that famous line from "The Graduate"...
"I have one word for you........................pewter."

Thrift stores are your friend... :)

Oh, this new extension of my favorite hobby has already turned me into a thrift store junkie. A good part of my smelting setup is "vintage".

I had read a little about using pewter, but I haven't come across any just yet. Thanks for the reminder. I'll keep my eyes peeled.
