I drug poor Richard to the pewter factory today, and came home with a few mementos. I wish I could tell any of you that follow this blog that I had purchased for you, but it would be a big fat fib. I found all sorts of things for myself and did not feel a bit of remorse. I guess if any of you had wanted pewter, you should have been here to get it for yourselves. SELFISH SELFISH ME!!!! Anyway, it was a very dusty crude place, and was fascinating. We watched the workers polishing the pieces and saw equipment from the early 1900's being used. See the hand drill shown. It had so much dirt and grease on it! The workers were more than willing to pose for the gringa buying their junk. HEE HEE for them and HOORAY for me!
