3.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Tool for the Beginning Collector, June 16, 2000

This review is from: Celluloid Collectibles, Identification and Value Guide (Paperback)

Shirely Dunn's guide to celluloid provides a useful history of the "Celluloid Era" of 1888 - 1920, including manufacturer's marks. She also includes color photos of a wide range of celluloid items, from clocks and toys, to manicure sets and advertising ware. Without an index, it is not very useful as a value guide.

A good book for beginners, but not too terrific if you want to identify & value a specific piece.

This a nice handy guide for celluloid. But the pricing needs to be updated. I run into these itesm many times and the Kovels books are too few and not great. I like better information and know what I have. This does a nice job. It a nice guide to have in your references library.

I found this little book to be quite an outstanding guide for the beginner. The book provides a general and overall understanding of celluloid and the "celluloid" era. By sheer coincidence, two of my celluloid clocks are pictured in this book. I definitely give the book a thumbs up!!!
