Pewter

          While pewter occupies a special association with early
American history, it is interesting to note that this soft, gray metal
was used by the Chinese for more than 2000 years ago. It was made into
coins and seals of office by the ancient Romans and was widely used by
the European middle classes as a substitute for sterling silver.
