Look for a copyright symbol, the word "METZKE," and a specific year (e.g., "© METZKE 1978").Weight & Patina: Pewter is a malleable, heavy metal. Genuine Metzke figurines will feel substantial for their size and often develop a warm, silvery, aged patina over time: Vintage Metzke pieces were crafted from solid, high-grade pewter, which traditionally consists of mostly tin combined with small amounts of copper and antimony for durability.
