When i am in a market where people sell stuff from there garage, or there parents collection, i run into some lead or tin or zinc or Babbitt(plates,cups,--?knifes, forks spoons(table wear)?--, etc)
How can i tell the difference between those metals???
Does the % stamp meaning about the amount of tin in it??(like 80 to 95%) Are the marks at any meaning?? Like the “angel"???
What is the difference between the sound of zinc and tin if you tap on it with your car key??
What kind of metal will snap or crackle when you are bending it.
I hope there is a simple solution to this, and you can help me out.
Thanks in advance parkerhale
