1.0 out of 5 stars
Not a useful resource for those interested in chronology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antique Tins (Hardcover)
Dodge puts admirable effort into presenting a collection of excellently preserved tin cans. However, I cannot recommend the result to the serious researcher! The descriptive information was not useful. Yes, the photos are "pretty" to look at, but if your interest is in manufacturing dates or length of use, this book will only disappoint. The book's descriptions gave only manufacturer and estimated value - not date or patent information. I bought this book because the title "Antique Tins" seemed to suggest it would provide useful information, but that is not the case. I returned the book.

I was unaware that this book was so old. I guess I should have looked at it better, it's up for sale.
