Woohoo!!! My copy of Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges by Brian Spencer turned up today, not that happy with the condition of it concidering it was sold as a new item, but still, it’s in goodish condition, and I’m more interested in it’s contents.

It’s interesting to note that a lot of the pewter in period days was actually what we use today as Solder for electronics. In fact using solder would be spot on for some finds. Maybe I don’t need to worry about mixing my own. as Period Pewter is available off the shelf today.

Anyway… as much as I would like to read all afternoon… I have to head off down to Canberra for the Hunt… maybe I’ll take a blank mould, and carve a Hunt Inspired souvenir.
