5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for Fostoria "American" collectors!, November 22, 1998

By 

Phil Cherry (Lynnwood, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fostoria American: A Complete Guide (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

This volume has the MOST COMPLETE list of the "American" pattern in a single volume. There are pictures of almost every piece produced, many of which the novice collector may never see in person. The price list is complete as well, and are basically accurate for the current market. Excellent informational section on the variations and the relationships between pieces and molds. This edition also includes useful information on the other patterns by other manufacturers that are often mistaken for "American".

A "MUST" for the serious collector of the "American" pattern by Fostoria.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the Best Info. on American Pattern Only!, May 19, 2001

By 

Max Hoffman (Central Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fostoria American: A Complete Guide (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

This is a must for serious collectors. It has saved hundreds of times the price. There are many glass pieces out there called "American Fostoria" that are not. The description and pictures make it much easier to tell the real items. The prices are quite accurate, but seem to be quite low on the really rare ones.
