<p>[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 40418, member: 404"]I don't honestly know if this is pewter or aluminum. I am leaning towards aluminum. There is a stamp/hallmark on the bottom of one piece but it is completely illegible. I don't know why I didn't get a picture of it but I didn't. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know it is at the very least 60 years old. Only because I was told my mom played in the in the dirt with it when she was a little kid and I am pretty sure it was old then. I have been calling it a coffee service but haven't found one like it. Any suggestions for a different search term? Is there a quick and easy way to tell if it is aluminum or pewter? I would love to find out how old it is. </p><p><br /></p><p>My grandparents must not have thought it was worth very much if they let my mom play in the dirt with it. My mom never let me play in the dirt with it. LOL! The Coffee service is about 17 inches tall to the very top the other pieces are maybe 6 and 4 inches tall. I really don't even understand how the thing is suppose to work. I swear this is the last thing I am going to ask about for at least a day maybe two. ;-) LOL! So much stuff, so little time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Thanks in advance. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
