Title: Metal plate good marks
Post by: deco.queen on September 28, 2011, 05:31:47 PM

It's telling me what it is but it's in German! lol Heavy metal front is raised sculpture. I'm wondering about age and what the metal is. Pewter? I only paid $.25 for it at a garage sale. Thanks.

Looks pewter to me.  As I have some other pewter ware here.  Nice, and for only .25 cents !!
