Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Do not attempt to polish this to a high shine with aggressive chemicals, as many pewter buyers prefer the aged 'patina.' Use keywords like 'Mid-Century,' 'Primitive decor,' 'Eagle Hallmark,' and 'Colonial Style.' Mention the model number 2776007 in the listing to help specific collectors find it.
