Question
QUESTION: Dear Mr. Roberts,
I came across your address on the internet, and thought you might be able to help.
I have, (among others) a one pint pewter mug, presented and engraved to my father in 1942. Due to travel and travaille over the intervening years, it has a split lip, and a bent base.
It is not cast but nicely formed and soldered.
I would be most grateful as to your advice as to where I might get it properly repaired.
Yours Sincerely,
David Duffy
