A company named "WILTON" has been making decorative plates, serving trays, candle sticks, platters, pitchers, creamers, etc. for years. You can find their products in stores that sell dinnerware and gift-wares. These items are made from an Aluminum-type material known as "ARMETALE". Most of these items are made to simulate to look of antique Pewter.
This "ARMETALE" seems to be stronger, and more scratch-resistant than ordinary Aluminum. I occasionally find this material in scrap yards, and was wondering if it would make good castings for model engines?
Any thoughts?
