Joy, Pennsylvania, formerly of Columbia, Pennsylvania.  Armetale was created in the early 1960's by the Wilton family-run company, "Wilton Brass".    Armetale is a registered TRADEMARK and protected by copyright laws, thus it can NOT be made, nor claimed by any other manufacturer.  Armetale is a unique, non-toxic aluminum-based alloy (composed of ten different metals), and   "... has been analyzed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and conforms to guidelines for the safe handling of food and beverages."  Armetale is not pewter but is often perceived to be, partly because there is no universal name for the multitude of varying aluminum based alloys made by many manufacturers.  Wilton Armetale certainly appears to be the most popular of these and perhaps that is why so may people wrongly identify other similar products with the claim of "armetale".  How can you tell the difference between Wilton Armetale and it's many imitators?  It's really easy,  ... Wilton ALWAYS stamps ALL of their items with it's "touch" or hallmark, the 3 letters:  RWP.   They are always found in a circle with W usually larger than the R and P.   Generally found on the bottom or the side of an item,  the mark varies in size on different pieces.   Smoke-free environment  See picture as it is more descriptive than words for stopping by!
