4.0 out of 5 stars Great Learning Tool!, February 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Griswold Cast Iron Vol. #1 (Paperback)

This book it great for learning how to recognize great finds and how to ascertain the values in collectors' circle. You may have to thumb through the pages to find the items; but, that in itself is a learning experience. The history of the industry is as valuable as the prices of the pieces. And you won't find this much experience in cast iron between any other cast iron books (if you can find any other cast iron books).

This review is from: Griswold Cast Iron Vol. #1 (Paperback)

I had purchased this Griswold book because it was to be a pricing guide. But was disappointed in that it did not give very many prices for the items. My husband is an avid collector of Griswold products and I wanted him to have a current pricing guide. Although this book did provide information about the Griswold products, it was definately not a pricing guide.
