I have been reading a bit of this thread and am curious. Reading on the lead test swabs seem to give 1 or two tests (I guess you can use it a second time if the first time is not positive?) but they seem to be rather expensive and bor the building trade?

Where I am there is a plethora of "pewter" type vessels around, old, cheap, and a lot of nice hand made pottery, so lead test strips seem a nice idea...
but what prices should one expect for the testers?
What brand names do you use and prefer? why?
