Collectors Guide to Wagner Ware and Other Companies with Prices [Paperback]

Editorial Reviews

Review

Cast iron collectors need have no fear they can't discover a dependable value guide on cast wares that aren't Griswold. While devoted primarily to Wagner Ware Manufacturing Company, a generous portion is allotted to items from other producers such as Crescent Foundry Co., Gem, Favorite, Martin Stove & Range Co., Sidney Hollowware Co., Wapak, and many more. Each item is represented with a photograph or detailed illustration and description. A Wagner Ware trademark identification guide is included. 2002 Price Guide -- Book Description

3.0 out of 5 stars Wagnerware and Other Companies, January 23, 2001

I found this book useful in identifying types of Wagnerware mainly by pictures in the book. I found it very lacking in substitive information. I needed information on which peices are easily found, hard to find and what kind of condition to look for, years of production for individual peices, etc. This book by itself does not give enough information to help a novice or new collector discover what is collectable and what is not. Had I known the contents before buying, I would have bought another reference instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars many different companies represented at various price ranges, May 7, 1998

Overall the book has some excellent research information. The book is a great investment for the collector looking to sell his/her product. Just be on the look out because some of the suggest prices are slightly higher than market value. It is a great reference holder for Wagner ware and the variety of other companies that produced wonderful holloware over the past 150 years.

Save your money. This book has almost no information in it. The book contains only pictures with few dates and some old prices which don't take into consideration the condition of the item. It is very incomplete. I have a dozen Wagner skillets and couldn't find any meaningful mention of them in this book. I wanted to learn about the products that Wagner produced and when each series was manufactured. This book doesn't have any of that information in it. I hope I can find a book that does! Anybody want a used book for half off?
