Indespensible!,
By Sue (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miller's Pocket Fact File: Silver & Sheffield Plate Marks: Including a Guide to Makers and Styles (Hardcover)
This book is great for identifying English and British hallmarks. Has a little bit on other European hallmarks which is very useful. It's a small size, so you can easily put it in your purse when going antiqueing (sp?). I'd definently recommend this to anyone seriously interested in silver.

This review is from: Miller's Pocket Fact File: Silver & Sheffield Plate Marks: Including a Guide to Makers and Styles (Hardcover)
This little book delivers the goods ~ well-organized marks for the English silver sleuth. Also has a credible selection of silver styles thrown in as a little bonus.

A must have for collectors of Antique English Silver,

This review is from: Miller's Pocket Fact File: Silver & Sheffield Plate Marks: Including a Guide to Makers and Styles (Hardcover)
This book is a must have for anyone who collects antique English silver. Not as comprehensive as a lot of others I have seen which is actually a plus since it fits comfortably in your pocket when you go antiquing. I keep my copy next to my computer so I have it handy while surfing the silver listings on eBay. Well worth the price.
