Antiques at Auction in America - Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Antiques at Auction in America (Paperback)
Dorothy Hammond follows major antique auctions. She reports actual prices and provides good photos of the sold items along with accurate item descriptions. Her focus provides a comprehensive view of early Americana antiques. I find all of Ms. Hammond's books very helpful.
