Richard Mundey had been interested in Old Pewter for at least 67 or 68 years. There is no-one alive today who can claim such a period of interest. Indeed there is no evidence that for at least 62 years of that period that he was interested in anything, outside of family, other than Old Pewter. For some 61 or 62 years of those years he had been obsessed, involved, totally engaged, in this subject and in dealing in it.
