Suggestions please as to where I can buy pewter sheet, bar, plate etc. Would I be better of buying old tankards from boot sales and eBay?
cheers
Bob

It depends what you want the pewter for, the Alec Tiranti stuff I have is Lead free pewter which is safer but in my experience less maleable and 'squeaks' when bent. It's also quite shiny and doesn't seem to take on the mellow grey of real Pewter, even in pieces I made 20 years ago.

maleable
There is a chap on eBay selling pewter ingots:

In addition to Titanti's see the Carn Metals web site
