Jon B. Haussler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1997 | Series: A Schiffer Book for Collectors

The startling range of muffin pans produced by the Griswold Manufacturing Company from the late nineteenth century through the 1950s is covered in detail in this fascinating guide. The author provides more than 235 photographs of muffin pan designs and computer graphics depicting 226 pan variations. All the pertinent details necessary to identify Griswold pans are provided, in addition to the names, numbers, pattern numbers, dates of production, and comparative rarity of each pan. Also included is a brief history of the company, the evolution of Griswold's muffin pans, and details from Griswold sales catalogs. Prices are provided in the text for every pan and variation listed. "Collecting Griswold muffin pans is enjoyable, affordable, challenging, somewhat mysterious, and addictive," says the author, who has been seeking out cast-iron for more than half a decade.

This review is from: Griswold Muffin Pans (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)

This is a GREAT book. If you are at all interested in collecting Griswold muffin pans this is the final word. You will see alot of times on ebay auctions people refering to the variation. Well that is from this book. Great pictures and drawings. Very very good information. The only negative I see is that the prices listed are somewhat high. Maybe with today's tough economy and the soft market for antiques the prices are really depressed from what they were when this book was written. Anyhow my general guideline for pricing is 1/3 to 1/2 of the price listed is a good deal.
