Excellent book for the those interested in collecting Stangl. Great color pictures and helpful price guide. Highly recommend!

The weighty Collector's Encyclopedia Of Stangl Artware, Lamps And Birds Identification & Values by Robert C. Runge Jr. offers a pleasing layout which lends to quick reference: color-coded sidebars of values accompany bright color photos and a guide which packs in Stangl company history and issues and reissues in an invaluable guide. Very strong recommendations for avid genre collectors, indeed.

Despite the amount of product that Stangl kicked out for so many years, this book does touch on the many types of pottery the company had made. I personally collect the gold brushed pieces, many of which are represented in this book, but there are so many more pieces that the book omitted that i actually own. Also, I turned on to a friend by collecting the black & gold type, which is almost absent from this book altogether.
What i will say is that this book does touch on so many different items that the company did make that i had no idea, such as lamps and the many colorful birds, which are colorfully represented here. Many pictures abound this volume. A must read for those who are just starting to collect, and to those who may have a passing interest in one of New Jersey's more famous pottery outputs of days gone by.

I am a fairly new Stangl bird collector. I purchased this book to acquire more knowledge on Stangl birds.
