1:12 Scale 1970s Colonial Craftsman Lead Free Pewter Umbrella/Cane Stand w/Cane

Description: This vintage Colonial Craftsman piece is made of lead-free pewter by artisan Ken Ewer under the Colonial Craftsman brand. Marked on the bottom. The Colonial Craftsmen Pewter Workshop was founded in about 1971 in Cape May, NJ by Kendall Swint Ewer of Chester, Pennsylvania. Mr. Ewer was retired from the real estate business and had become interested in making reproduction Revolutionary period buttons in pewter. His products were very popular and so he expanded his business to include making miniature pewter replicas of other Colonial period items: serving dishes, plates, carving sets, eating utensils, coffee sets, tea sets, goblets, trivets, candle holders, oil lamps, wall sconces, mirrors, picture frames, clocks, figurines, and more. Kendall Ewer's wife, Virginia Ewer, worked with him. At the time, he was the only maker of miniature pewter in America, His items were marked K Ewer Pewterer. His pewter products were lead-free (made from a combination of 91 % tin, .5 % copper, 4.5 % antimony, and the rest was bismuth). His products were cast in special molds, and hand finished. His pewter products were very hard and durable and were faithful reproductions of the original Colonial models from which they were copied. In the mid 1970s his company was bought by Stieff and operations were moved to Baltimore, MD. Stieff also made miniature reproductions for Colonial Williamsburg in both pewter and sterling silver. The Colonial Craftsmen Division of Stieff was gone by1979. From a pet-free, non-smoking household. Please check out my other miniature listings. I will combine shipping on multiple items.
