4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for glass toothpick holder collectors.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Glass Toothpick Holders: Identification & Values (Hardcover)
Beautiful book with full color pictures of each holder. Brief history of each company is included and holders are easily located under the company name. Layout is very attractive and ample space is afforded each collectible. Entries include the original manufacturer's name, date, colors, size, special notes, along with prices. The back of the volume contains a large section on "Unattributed and Unknown Makers" that can assist you in identifying lesser known holders. This book is a nice addition to your library. Well researched and a joy to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent Resource!!!,
By Stephanie (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glass Toothpick Holders: Identification & Values (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book ... for collectors of toothpicks specifically, but also for anyone who collects and/or deals in early pattern glass. Beautiful photos, great historical info on the old glass companies, and reliable and well-organized presentation of all the information one generally seeks in a collectibles price/pattern identification guide. I've often used this book to identify toothpicks, but also found it great for identifying other pattern glass pieces ... The photos really show off the pattern detail, and the (many!!!) accompanying line illustrations are extremely helpful, too. Also, since it's organized by company, if I know who made something but have no idea what it's called, this is the first book I reach for.

This review is from: Glass Toothpick Holders: Identification & Values (Hardcover)
it is a very good reference book. some of the patterns and styles maybe similar to other products produced by the manufacturer which can help with glass not marked.
