Today's collectors will find every type of inkwell that exists in this exceptional book. In addition to his own extensive collection, the author has researched every detail and exchanged ideas on every facet of 500+ inkwells. Each color photo comes with an in-depth listing of the classification, composition, place of origin, size, date, and value of the inkwell. A reference on inkwells of this quality has never been published - our complete and beautiful guide will be worth ten times its low price to collectors and antique dealers. 1998 values. AUTHORBIO: Veldon Badders has collected inkwells for many years, and, along with the help of his wife, Gail, has written two popular volumes on the subject. REVIEW: This book gives a detailed history of Lefton China and Lefton factories, information on marks, and hundreds of photographs of pieces of the china - angels, banks, planters, figurines, compotes, cups & saucers, salt & pepper shakers, teapots, vases, and much more.

As rare a find as that special inkstand,
This review is from: The Collector's Guide to Inkwells: Identification & Values (Bk.1) (Paperback)
Badders' book is a pure delight for the collector of inkstands and ink bottles. It has 502 colored plates which will have the collector/reader drooling and upon discovering a match for one in his collection feeling that superb sense of satisfaction only a true inkwell lover can understand.Badders has included inkwells of many varied compositions, and unlike the very few other books on the subject, has included the range of value of each item.

This review is from: The Collector's Guide to Inkwells: Identification & Values (Bk.1) (Paperback)
I recently started collecting inkwells and purchased this book as a basic guide. I was hoping it might contain more information about the different types of inkwells that were produced in various time periods, countries, etc...it does provide pictures and descriptions by type of inkwell (wood, brass) and offers some period info - it's great for basic identification but I've learned a lot more from other collectors and on eBay! It's a good starter book, but very basic in content and information. Not any information on markings either.

This review is from: The Collector's Guide to Inkwells: Identification & Values (Bk.1) (Paperback)
THE BOOK DOES NOT HELP COLLECTORS OF CZECH BOHEMIAN IRIDESCENT INKWELLS. FIRST, THERE ARE ONLY 8 EXAMPLES IN THE BOOK. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TOO DARK AND DO NOT CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OR TEXTURE OF THE GLASS. BUT WORSE, THE INFORMATION IS WRONG. INKWELLS CLEARLY MARKED WITH THE GERMAN PATENT MARK, D.R.G.M. ARE LABELED 'AMERICAN." IN ONE INSTANCE, TWO INKWELLS MADE OF THE SAME GLASS ARE CALLED RESPECTIVELY 'AMERICAN" AND "EUROPEAN." THE AUSTRIAN MARK OE.P COMES OUT "DEP." AT LEAST THEY ARE CALLED "LOETZ-TYPE," WHICH IS ACCURATE, SINCE NONE OF WAS MADE BY LOETZ. A GOOD BARGAIN BOOK TO LOOK AT PICTURES, BUT DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE ESPECIALIST.
