Silverplated Flatware Reviews

Review by ERNEST CLAMAR:

I PURCHASED MY FIRST COPY OF THIS BOOK TEN YEARS AGO. IT HAD POOR DRAWINGS, MANY POOR PHOTO COPIES OF MANUFACTURERS LITERATURE, I WROTE TO THE PUBLISHER LISTING MANY ERRORS, AND SUBMITED MY FINDINGS HOPING TO BE HELPFUL TO THE AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER. I PURCHASED WHAT YOU ARE SELLING NOW AS AN UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL BOOK. TO MY SUPRISE THE SAME ERRORS AND POOR DRAWINGS WERE JUST BEING REPRINTED. THERE WAS NO REAL UPDATE TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF PATTERNS. I EVEN SUBMITTED 132 PHOTOGRAPHS AND DRAWINGS OF PATTERNS NOT LISTED IN THIER BOOK. ONE OF THE PIECES LISTED AS UNKNOWN HAS A PATENT DATE ON IT. IT ONLY TOOK ME 15 MIN AT THE PATENT OFFICE TO FIND THE ORIGINAL PATENT SUBMISSION PAPERS, DRAWING AND NAME, AND AT THE TIME I WAS JUST A NOVICE STARTING TO LEARN, SINCE THEN I HAVE ADDED OVER 10,000 PIECES TO MY COLLECTION. MY INTENTION WAS TO ASSURE AN ACCURATE REFERANCE BOOK FOR PEOPLE TO USE. THIS IS NOT IT.

Review by :

Great for the layman and the pro, simple to understand, easy to recognize patterns from detailed drawings! Excellent hobby aid and fun to discover your sought patterns on the pages. There was only one that I could not find out of many, probably because it is pre 1800's! Very inclusive book for post circa 1800 thru 20th century. $$$ well spent for this addition to your research library!

Sterling Flatware Identification & Value Guide Reviews

Review by S. Humma:

I tend to immerse myself in as much information as I can whenever I take on a new interest. Several years ago I became fascinated with sterling silver flatware, so I bought books on the subject. This book is affordable and fairly complete--The quality of the line drawings is somewhat uneven. Some of them are QUITE good, but others are fairly simply drawn, and silver is kind of about detail--the shading and depth of the patterns. However, for what it is--an identification guide, I consider it essential to my library. I usually keep it and the Maryanne Dolan book together--using them both to find what I want. The Dolan book has better pictures/drawings. This book has more patterns and notes the collectibility of the pattern. This book ALSO has an alphabetical listing of patterns at the end--which has been quite useful in determining WHICH Josephine pattern, WHICH Kings pattern, etc. And there is a simple, two page listing of silver manufacturer's marks to let one quickly spot a maker, but these marks have changed somewhat through the years, and I am still looking for a more comprehensive listing of marks that would reflect dates of manufacture, silver weights, etc. At the end of the book are pages listing all the pieces available in the Towle Old Colonial pattern--useful for identifying various forks, spoons, and serving pieces. But I like to use the Osterberg book 'Sterling Silver Flatware for Dining Elegance'for looking at pieces--it offers more variety. However, this book IS a basic reference tool, and probably should be in anyone's library of flatware books.

Review by merrymousies:

I bought this book along with another (Book of Old Silver by Wyler) for my mom. She was been collecting old silver pieces at antique shows/flea markets etc (getting some incredible deals) buut didn't know all the hallmarks or history. She LOVES this book. Every hallmark that you could imagine is listed in here. At first its a little difficult to navigate but once you figure out how its set up you're on your way - you can determine the year it was made, the county etc. There is also pricing information in terms but what I liked is that it indicates if the piece/pattern is rare, common etc, too. Terrific book. She raves about it and I've had fun looking up some of my pieces too, finding out that they're 100 yrs old is fun! Excellent reference book!
