gc2	posted on August 14, 2002 04:35:47 PM Is there any way some of you can tell from a picture if these are pewter, or a base metal that has lost whatever finish they had? Or is there some kind of test I can do to tell? They both say "The Fonz", and I'm calling them pendants, though someone suggested they might be zipper pulls (as on a black leather jacket no less). All help will be appreciated. Ed. to add...ah, never mind...( for me) [ edited by gc2 on Aug 14, 2002 04:43 PM ]

On second thought, the "G" is questionable - could be a "C" - or even an "O". It is impressed and tiny - very hard to read. Looks most like a "G", but my eyes aren't all that good any more either.
