Renewed Interest In Pewter Is Sparked By Bicentennial A renewed interest in pewter has developed in this. bicentennial year, observes Charlotte Womble, extension housing specialist at North Carolina State University. “Examples of Early American pewter are relatively scarce,” she adds. “Colonial craftsmen had to import tin, the basic ingredient, from England at a high tariff. Thus, old pieces were often remelted and remolded or traded in for newly-cast items. “In Colonial days, pewter was hand cast,” Miss Womble points out. “This technique is still used, but has been joined by spinning and stamping methods for greater ver satility. With hand cast and finished pewter, each piece may not be exactly uniform, the specialist observes. However, this gives a valued handcrafted look. Finishes include the dark shadings of antique, the soft sheen of satin, or a bright gleam that resembles silver. Though not a precious metal, pewter lends itself to all the design and use possibilities of silver, yet retains its own special beauty and is tarnish resistant, Miss Womble says. Plates, platters, bowls, ;mugs, goblets, pitchers, sugar and creamer sets, lamp bases, candleholders, vasesa and wall sconces are among the many items that are available in reproduction of famous patterns or in modem designs. The latest innovation is fine pewter flatware, usually in satin finish with stainless steel knife blades, fork tines, and spoon bowls. Decorative pewter figurine; are also popular. When purchasing pewter, it's important to check manufacturer's labels and tags for care information, Miss Womble states. This is especially true for flatware. Most pewter flatware is dishwasher safe, the specialist adds. Other pieces should be washed by hand in warm sudsy water. Rinsing in hot water and drying immediately with a soft towel will help prevent water-spotting. “It’s wise to wash food and beverage service pieces promptly after use,”. Miss Womble points out. “As with silver, certain chemicals and acids present in many foods may cause stains and pitting if in long contact with pewter.” Common culprits include party dips, eggs, salad dressing, oils, vinegar, salt and fruit juices. RICHARD STEEVES, Shelby, and Kent Campbell of Black Mountain, congratulate out-going President Owen R. Setzer of Newton, on the job he has faithfully performed during the past year heading the North Carolina Public Health Association, Western District. Setzer is Sanitarian Supervisor of the Catawba County Health Department. Kent Campbell, the newly elected president, is regional director, D.E.C. program. State Division of Health Services while Richard Steeves, who will take office next year and will serve for a one year period ending in June 1978, is the Health Director of Cleveland County. The 1976 Convention of the Western North Carolina Public Health Association was held in the new Inn at Fontana Village Resort. Approximately 206 delegates and their wives attended the event, according to R.J. immel, General Manager of the sprawling vacation complex. Pewter polish may be used occasionally to restore original sheen. Either pewter or silver polish will renew bright-finish pewter. Read and follow directions. Here’s a caution: Some pewter and simulated pewter has a protective finish and should not be polished. Suds and water is the easy-care method for these items.
