I don't know, although I believe I have heard them suggested for that purpose
before.  The only "pewter" I own is Armetale, and that's lead-free.  Since I
don't know how they work, I don't know if there needs to be a residue of lead
dust on the surface or if they can detect lead as a component of other things.
 Calling the store and asking about them, or going to look at the packaging,
is probably your best bet; if the info isn't there, you can usually find
contact info for the manufacturer on the box, and ask them.
