<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I slowly sort through my mundane stuff to put together some feast gear, I am finding some hidden treasures from the past that raise questions about how to care for materials:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The easy question:</DIV>
<DIV>What do I use to clean pewter? I have some that has darkened considerably, probably from being run through the dishwasher.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The more difficult question:</DIV>
<DIV>I have some very old (well, mundanely old, that is) wooden wine glasses that have some kind of shiny finish on them. One has been cracked for a while and is a bit warped. The other seeps when filled with liquid, so I deduce a hairline crack somewhere. Can these be saved and used, and if so, how?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, any and all information on feast gear (what one needs, what's period, what's not but useful anyway, and so on) will be warmly received and eagerly read.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to all --</DIV>
