Guide to American Pewter

There are many important forms, such as measures, which either do not occur in American pewter, or if they do, are one or two of a kind, and so rare and so highly priced, that only a few collectors can hope to own one. Any collector of average means, striving to achieve a well balanced collection, would be foolish to reject an English example. Indeed, the range of forms in English measures will intrigue any but the most narrow minded collectors . You can have a lot more fun for your money and attain better intrinsic value by recognizing that form and mark are equally important. Continental examples offer equal opportunities for collectors who seek excellence of form and usability.
