Question
I have an "Abbey cast pewter" mug "made in England", marked on the bottom with a triangle in a circle, an 8 over "PC" inside the triangle. It is about 5" tall. Do you have any knowledge regarding origin/value?
Thank you so much.

The circle contains the letters ABPC, for Assoc British Pewter Craftsmen, which was set up in the 1970s. Abbey Pewter are a London firm, started around 2001.
So, errmm, not quite an antique. If you search with Google, you'll find lots of websites selling their pewter - new pieces, that is - as giftware.
So it's best not to comment on value!
