Woodbury Pewter
Restore corroded pewter?
anyone know a good way to restore corroded Pewter? I have a salt and pepper set, and one piece corroded in storage. It has a whitish and tannish bloom in spots that are rough, and gray discoloration in other spots.
The set is marked "Woodbury Pewterers" if that helps.
Cleaning pewter
Antiques should retain their grey patina to maintain their value they should not be cleaned with metal polish, for particularly fragile or valuable pieces seek expert advice from the antiques trade before attempting any sort of cleaning.
Never put pewter in a dish washer.
As long as the item is not damaged then warm soapy water is the safest way to clean all pewters. Dry thoroughly then buff with a soft cloth. For antiques and for anything valuable or old seek expert advice before doing anything other than washing. For bright modern pewters of no great value if the washing does not restore a good appearance metal polish with a soft cloth can be used (silver or brass). For severe corrosion and if you are confident you know what you are doing metal polish applied with ultra fine wire wool grade 0000 only (anything other than this will scratch). If necessary follow with metal polish on a soft cloth. Once restored to a good appearance use warm soapy water to keep the item looking good without the need to resort to such extreme measures again.
If you have a severely corroded item and are not confident about working on it seek the help of either an antiques restorer or pewtersmith as appropriate for the object.

PEWTER
To clean pewter which is so easily scratched, make a paste of whiting and lemon oil and apply
it with a soft cloth, rinse with hot water and polish with a dry, soft cloth. (Most antique
collectors prefer a time-darkened, mellow finish on their old pieces of pewter.)
Corroded pewter can be cleaned by polishing it with an electric buffer, or by rubbing it with
cigar ash, or by applying a bathroom scouring powder with a kerosene rag, or by using very
fine (#0000) steel wood and kerosene.
