WE ARE SORRY BUT WE HAVE HAD TO INCREASE OUR PRICES DUE TO HIGHER COST OF BUYING SCRAP PEWTER AND LEAD FREE PRICES ARE INCREASING ALL THE TIME.
IN THIS SELECTION WE MAINLY USE ROYAL SELANGOR PEWTER WHICH HAS A TIN CONTENT OF BETWEEN 92% AND 97% WHICH IS LEAD FREE.
HAVING RESEARCHED MORE IT APPEARS THE YEARS QUOTED CHANGE WHEN THE UK BECAME LEAD FREE. TAKING THIS INTO ACCOUNT WE ONLY USE MODERN PEWTER ITEMS IN OUR PREMIUM MELTS.
SCRAP PEWTER FOR CASTING 1 KILO AND IS LEAD FREE AS THE PREMIUM PEWTER SUGGESTS.
WE ARE OFTEN ASKED IF OUR PEWTER IS LEAD FREE AND THE ANSWER IS YES IN OUR PREMIUM PEWTER AS WE ONLY USE HALL MARKED PEWTER WHICH CONTAINS A MINIMUM OF 90% TIN OR HIGHER. OTHER METALS THAT ARE IN IT ARE THERE TO ADD STRENGTH
TO THE PEWTER.
HOWEVER IN OUR LEAD/PEWTER MIX THERE ARE ITEMS OF OLDER PEWTER THAT CONTAIN LEAD BUT WE DO NOT KNOW THE AMOUNT AS THESE ITEMS WERE MADE SOME TIME AGO WHEN MANY CUT COSTS.
WE TRY TO MIX NEWER PEWTER IN WITH THESE MIXES WHEN WE CAN.
WE HOPE THAT HELPS AS SOME SELLERS WILL NOT DISCLOSE THE SOURCE OF PEWTER THAT IS USED TO MAKE THE SCRAP.
OUR SCRAP IS AS CLEAN AS WE CAN GET IT BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS ALWAYS LET US KNOW.
AS OF JULY 2021 SCRAP PRICES FOR ALL METALS HAVE STARTED TO INCREASE AND WILL ONLY KEEP RISING FOR THE NEAR FUTURE NOW IN 2022 THE PRICES HAVE JUST KEPT TISING TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE SORRY BUT WE HAVE HAD TO INCREASE OUR PRICES TO STAY IN SERVICE.
WE WILL STILL TRY TO KEEP OUR PRICES COMPETITIVE FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN.
ALL I CAN ADD IS THAT LEAD FREE PEWTER IS GUARANTEED USING ONLY PEWTER MADE AFTER 1976 AND FROM OUR EXPERIENCE THE MELTED PEWTER IS QUITE DULL IN FINISH. LEAD GIVES IT A MORE SHINY APPEARANCE IN OUR VIEW. THIS IS JUST OUR OPINION.
WE HAVE MELTED A HELL OF A LOT OF PEWTER SINCE TRADING ON EBAY AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A SHINY FINISH FROM MELTED LEAD FREE PEWTER.
THIS LOT IS MADE UP OF ABOVE.
SORRY WE HAD MAKE OFFER AS OPTION BUT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS SCRAP PRICES ARE PUSHING THE BASIC PRICE UP AND WE ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP STOCK AND BUY.
