The above pewter was bought a small local store I got the 2 pewter cream cups, 3 large stainless spoons, 1 large ladle and about 2 lbs used up beeswax candles. Talked her down from $15 to $10

beeswax will run you $6-12lb depending on quality and refinement
Pewter runs $20/lb
18" stainless spoons and ladle cheap ones are about $5 each these are pretty heavy duty not quite commercial grade but not paper thin either.

ended up with 4oz pewter
4oz is enough to add to 4lbs of clip on wheel weights to get close to Lyman#2 alloy
and a hardness of about 13 water drop them and get up to about 18ish.
