Great pictures-Fun book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Salt and Pepper Shakers: Identification and Values (Salt & Pepper Shakers) (Paperback)
This little book is a great tool for quick reference. The pictures are great and all in colors. Short comments. If you need more detailed info: try Melva Davern's books, also great pictures but a little more history.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Salt and Pepper Shakers: Identification and Values (Salt & Pepper Shakers) (Paperback)
This book is for enthusiasts only, useless as a research guide for investment collectors or antique dealers.The book does not give any information at all about manufacturer, production years, materials and methods of production, production volumes, or other information needed to describe an item and establish its vintage. The "identifications" are merely descriptions of what we can plainly see in the included photos of the author's collection. After reading it, I still have no idea what the included "values" are based on.
