The Collection of Pewter Master Richard Graver
Description
Welcome to the Richard Graver Collection. This sale is a special one with hundreds of antique pewter pieces and pewter molds collected by Richard Graver along with even more crafted by Richard himself. Richard was a teacher of Industrial Arts, for over 30 years, in the Tredyffrin-Easttown School District. He was a master pewterer and was a proud member of the Pewterer's Collectors Club of America for many years, where he held every office in the organization. Richard collected some pretty incredible molds and created many of his own. Even after his passing, Mr Graver is teaching us about the artistry of pewter making. We are honored to share this group with you.
