Need help to ID salt pepper shakers material

These are heavy , vintage shakers.  Have searched all over net and can't figure out what 9006 is.

Silver plate? Pewter?

On the bottom is stamped " Wallace 9006"

I don't think they're sterling. Too heavy.

Any help would be most welcome.

Thanks

Thanks! Yes that links helps alot  1 post on this forum asked the same question as myself.

1 answer said it was electroplate( silver plated) on cast base metal - most likely mid 20th century.

So I think that's what it is!

I just checked " wallace pewter" and they are clearly marked pewter.

Cool! I'm glad it helped.

I also thought it was really interesting when somebody mentioned specific gravity testing, and they linked to another discussion about how to do that. 

I love learning new things!

Have a great day!

Lion- First of all, I like your new avi!

i pulled up Google and was amazed how much info they have on Wallace silverware. You might want to check them out. As you know, quadruple plate is very heavy - especially vintage. Good luck!
