Product Description

Out of print for a while, this classic reference work on antique ironware is available once again. Antique collectors, iron buffs, and industrial historians will welcome the opportunity to browse through its pages, which contain hundreds of photographs of fascinating items. Architectural hardware, lighting devices, and irons, tools, toys, weathervanes, fences and gates, and kitchen utensils are all presented, with examples taken from rarely-viewed private collections as well as major museums. Concise descriptions of each item pictured augment text that includes a great deal of historical and manufacturing information. You'll find details on the iron works at Saugus, Massachusetts; Batsto, New Jersey; Hopewell, Pennsylvania; and more. There's a discussion of the regional products of the South, Midwest, and Northeast of the United States, along with plenty of information on influences from England and Europe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but..., July 20, 2009
This book gives a very good review of domestic antique iron from the new and old English speaking worlds.

The text is informative and the photographs of excellent quality. For anyone wanting a reference source I can wholeheartedly commend this book.

However if you are interested in design / construction details and reproducing old items, although the book would be useful it is not ideal; photographs rarely show necessary details such as rivets, welds etc. For such information about similar items, Brears' `Old Devon Farmhouse' or Seymour's `Iron and Brass Implements...' would make a very good partner to this book.
