#1257 The Wilton family has been involved in the metal casting industry since 1892. Half a century later, Ralph P. Wilton, Jr. expanded the family business through other ventures, such as Wilton Products (1940) which made cast iron gifts and the Wilton Brass Company (1955). Wilton, Jr. developed the formula for a unique aluminum-based alloy called Armetale, which led to a new line of Wilton products. In 1969, the Company relocated to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania.

Wilton Armetale’s products are produced by using an ancient painstaking process called sand molding, whereby an impression formed in sand is filled with molten metal. Since items are individually cast and meticulously hand-finished, no two pieces are exactly alike. When cast, this metal alloy can be worked to acquire the look of pewter or be highly polished to resemble silver. Armetale means art metal. It is 8 x 13.5 x 11.5 cm.

I will be posting for sale vintage pewter from various parts of the world particularly northern Europe, Canada and Ireland. Mugs, goblets, figurines, vases, candlestick holders.

Pewter is a malleable metal alloy consisting of tin, antimony, copper, bismuth, and sometimes silver. Copper and antimony act as hardeners but lead may be used in lower grades of pewter, imparting a bluish tint. Pewter has a low melting point, around 170–230 °C, depending on the exact mixture of metals.
