I don't know Jack, I quite like them. This metal tankard is my first and was a Christmas present. Sheffield, English Pewter Company. 92% tin, 6% antimony, 2% copper. (and 100% Yorkshire ale, naturally).
I thought you might I think they might be better today, I had one as a kid, and in the olden days, they were battleship grey and tasted minging! My whiskey glass is from the same firm, and the pewter rim doesn't need polishing at all, like the old pewter did. Did you know that the English Pewter Company are based in the very same building Harry Brearley invented stainless steel in 1913?
