i have some small pewter tankards. i'm sure they're decorative. one word on the bottom is spelled "?iners". i tried using word and old english font to figure out the first letter and it looks like a capital U. So it looks like Uiners.

the rest of the inscription is ENGLISH PEWTER SHEFFIELD ENGLAND. has anyone heard of Uiners? i tried doing a search on the net, but come up with zip.

Hello PaulsWife,

Perhaps V instead of U?

i considered that, but it didn't look the same. i'll have paul take a picture of it and put it in the next post.
