Rawleigh Door to Door Collectibles,
By Raleigh H. Abell (St. Louis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Door-To-Door Collectibles: Salves, Lotions, Pills, & Potions from W.T. Rawleigh (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This is a highly informative book for anyone who collects the Rawleigh products. It is full of the history of the company as well as lots of pictures of the products. It also has value listings for most of the products. I would reccommend this book to all.
