OUR NOTES:
For Collectors and Glassware Dealers, this is a rather unusual book one that youre sure to wish to add to your reference library.
Most reference books consist of an authors work done through compiling and photographing the subject matter. Usually this is done partially through the authors personal collection, as well as through the collections and collective knowledge of various collecting societies.
While this is a valuable approach, another method for creating a good reference book is to provide a documentary book consisting primarily of the companys original sales brochures and advertising. The advantage of this approach is that generally the full product line is displayed in many of these brochures.
This book contains the history of Anchor Hocking, a photographic record of their Identification Marks and directions for identification of manufacturers catalogs. The main body of the book is spent providing photo copies of their company brochures, with current price value shown on the side.
This book also covers Fire King, Amanda & Angelica product lines, Cookware, Ovenware, multiple Hocking patterns, Dinnerware, Milkwhite, Sapphire, Punch Sets, Iron Stone dinnerware patterns, ashtrays (including previously undocumented examples), candle holders, , glass cuttings (laurel, candle dot, many others), salt and pepper shakers, and much more. The book will be quite valuable for Collectors and Dealers alike well worth the read.
