Description PAIR OF ANTIQUE PEWTER PLATES  - LATE 1700s?   These 9 ¼” plain rim pewter plates are perhaps unattractive close up but put on a top shelf or used as part of a display or for theatrical work would still have a place.   Actually a pair and likely by the Duncumbs in the late 1700s (guessing from a faded mark.)   The one on the left has two rim cracks ½” and ¾” someone has tried to clean it. The one on the right has a nail hanging hole in the rim and variable oxidation.   Well some tender loving care (t l c) might help. Together they weigh 850 grams. UK cheques are also accepted in payment. My eBay shop now has items of pewter, wood, copper and brassware for sale please use the links above on the right or left hand sides below or across from the photos These should enhance any period display at home, in a pub, restaurant, hotel or heritage building.   For those who might begin to develop an interest in ANTIQUE BRITISH PEWTER might I suggest you access my information only web site at www.pewterbank.com   I really DO welcome additional articles, advice, and suggestions for new and recent collectors and will add these to my website from time to time. (It does take time and is better when there are a few together to add…)   POSTAGE (OR SHIPPING) PRICES My individual postage charges include about £2 so that I can pay for help to send all orders quickly and recover a little on bought in packaging. Consolidated shipments of several items to one UK business address are less expensive – please ask. Overseas I am pleased to quote a shipping cost for Royal Mail Airmail/Airsure Services, I guide buyers to look at www.royalmail.com and follow the pricing route to estimate costs. For my pewter I find that I add 50-70% - depending on size and on how the piece needs protecting - to the weight of the piece for packaging materials (and I usually quote the piece weight in the eBay copy so I can calculate shipping more easily) So if it weighs 500gms I look at the 750 gm rate or next band 1 kilo rate depending on what needs good protection. This is mentioned here so you can try it for yourself - but I am always pleased to quote - a firm price. And I am happy to work with anyone who can do it better at their own risk, through their own contacts.   Place a Bid!
