PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
Something old, something new. That's the case with this recent title. New information and photographs are mixed with material previously published....However, this is much more than a picture price guide. Historical information is supplemented by a section of frequently asked questions, there are tips for collectors and an extensive grouping of backstamps is shown.There's also a section on reproductions, showing authentic and fake marks side-by-side...-Antique Week
