Excellence In Pewter

It is with a heavy heart that i announce the passing of my beloved husband, Frank M. Powell, on April 1, 2024. Following is his obituary:

https://www.jamesterryfuneralhome.com/tributes/Frank-Powell

Frank Powell was truly a renaissance man, deeply passionate about pewter and dedicated to mastering all aspects of its craft. From repairing to buying and selling this old gray metal, his expertise was unparalleled. A born artisan and craftsman, Frank's skills extended far beyond pewter as he apprenticed as a young man to become a Journeyman Electrician, showcasing his versatility and thirst for knowledge. He held deep admiration for craftsmen of the past and carried on their legacy through his honest business practices, marked by profound knowledge and fairness. Even as his health wavered, Frank's drive never faltered. Whether customizing his beloved Mustang cars or meticulously assembling model cars, he exemplified a relentless work ethic and a restless spirit. A devoted father and husband, Frank's legacy is not only in his craftsmanship but also in the lasting love and pride he instilled in those around him. jill powell 7/28/2024

Elizabeth Carpenter/ WN Tankard

This quart London tankard was made circa 1750 and is marked by two makers. At times, pewterers would work together to fill large domestic and export orders. The side has Thomas Carpenter hallmarks, that in 1750 were being used by Elizabeth and Henry Carpenter of London, 1748-1770. The inside is marked with a "WN" thistle touchmark (PS5020), probably struck by William Newham of London 1730-1755. The "WN" touch may have been first used in Nottingham by William's uncle, William Newham 1708-1728. The "WN" mark appears to be modeled after his name touch (PS3201). This tankard has a boldly detailed base, lip and handle terminal. The fillet chairback thumbpiece and handle decoration are crisp with little wear. The tankard is in exceptional condition inside and out. It stands 7" tall and has a base diameter of 4 7/8".
