Essential reading for the John Deere Collector!,

This review is from: John Deere Collectibles (Hardcover)
This book goes a long way in filling the void in the hobby of collecting John Deere memorabillia. While numerous books abound regarding John Deere toys, John Deere Collectibles explores the various advertising give aways and promotional items employed by Deere through the years. From watch fobs to brochures to banners and signs, it gives an excellent overview of the breadth and depth of memorabillia out there. This book leaves you excited about what you might aleady possess, or items undiscovered in the attic, barn or flea market. For the novice or experienced collector, or even someone simply nostalgic for John Deere, John Deere Collectibles by Brenda Kruse should be a welcome addition to your library

These collectibles range from the commonplace to the unique,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Deere Collectibles (Hardcover)
John Deere Collectibles showcases more than 1,000 items associated with John Deere. These collectibles range from the commonplace to the unique. Indeed, many of them were hidden away in collectors' basements and attics, or guarded in the Deere & Company's corporate archives. Profusely illustrated with more than 200 full-color photographs of memorabilia, the 128-page John Deere Collectibles is a "must" for all collectors of this specialized area, and will prove to be a nostalgic, highly recommended and very special treat for anyone who every grew up around and worked their farms with John Deere tractors and products.
