<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mmarco102, post: 10255893, member: 8289&quot;]Thanks all for your inputs. I’ll rule out pewter, as I have handled many items over the years, although from the photo’s I can see why it was considered. As originally posted there is a definite silverish shine not coming out in the photos and I haven’t even wiped them down let alone cleaned them. This paktong is interesting and new to me. Been reading on it. I agree with Johnny, they are thick and square, not normally associated with silver I’ve encountered. It has a bit of a ring to it when I tap the lid to the body. I read paktong resembles silver; it is slow to tarnish, wears well and was used occasionally in the eighteenth century, which would be a great find for me. Do they still use it and are there ways to test for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
