Pewter component (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tin

'pewter component' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "Silvery metallic element" , "Canister" , "Atomic number 50" , "roofing material" , "Kind of metal often used as food container" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
