antique or more recent vintage.

Because of its metal content, polishing it won't neccessarily make it shine—

BUT it may decrease its value.

To make bright, modern pewter shine, use a silver or brass polish, or a mildly

abrasive scouring powder, such as Ajax and a soft cloth.

For severe corrosion, try applying the metal polish with ultra fine steel wool.

Use grade 0000 only, any coarser steel wool will only scratch the finish.

Buff with a soft cloth after using the steel wool.

Pewter is the fourth precious metal after gold, silver and platinum.
