Most Worshipful, there is a ton of Pewter alloy etc. info at http://castboolits.gunloads.com/ I'm sure you have been there. I enjoy reading the stories there of how those guys (Pewter Hoarders) locate cheap pewter trinkets for the lowest prices. It appears to very addictive! Whats nice is they list all the major pewter company stamps so you can identify whats the good stuff vs the junk. Reminds me to hit the thrift shops again.

So to turn the pewter a bronze color you would add........... copper seems the logical answer but how would you do it cheaper?

Old Fashioned Pewder is different from "modern" pewder. Ole fashioned pewder had a high lead content, so eating off of old fashioned pewder plates, etc., could result in ingesting lead into one's body.
"Modern Pewder" is also called "Brittania Metal," that contains no lead and is safe to use as eating utensils.
It's a pretty old piece. It has no plating or chemical applicant on it. It has some light oxidation also bronze colored. The wear places are nice shiny copper color. I'm pretty convinced it's got a load of copper. No lead -- no grey oxidation. The discussions on castboolets reinforce this opinion.
Egg, thats a great websight (Cast Boolits). Like here I visit it everyday.
