Napco ( A Schiffer Book for Collectors)

By Kathleen Deel

Ceramic pieces sold by Napco*r (National Potteries Corporation) are distinctive and popular again today. From its prolific output of the 1950s and 1960s to its miniature bone china imports of the 1970s, Napco has held the interest of collectors because the ceramic items are consistently well-designed. This volume brings together information on all of the Napco*T lines, including chapters on animal figures, birthday sets, decorative items and kitchenware, figurines and planters, and head vases. There is a separate section on Inarco*T (International Artware Corporation), sister company of Napco. Collectors of holiday items, angels, and nursery rhyme characters will find plenty of interest in these pages. An added bonus is the directory of major importing companies of the fifties and sixties. With over 1,000 color photos and a price guide, this is a worthwhile addition to a ceramics collector's library.

The only book for Napco Collectors

I am a huge Napco collector. I have collected about 75 figurines with the help of this book. Good photos and it has a nice variety of all types of Napco figurines. This is really the only book available for those of us who love to collect these figurines. The two reasons that I did not give it a 5 rating was 1)I would have liked a better explanation of the numbering system and 2)the book does not show many of the figurines that are available. The sets are incomplete. I have many more that aren't in the book. You can look at my gallery at [...]. They are not for sale. I hope that someone writes another book and completes the sets.

Best NAPCO book out there, .....so far.

This is the best book you can find on the subject of NAPCOS. It is not 100% complete, since so many thousand NAPCOS were issued since the mid 1900's; however, this book will give the collector a very nice basis on the subject. Excellent photos. Printed on nice paper!

Napco

This is a fantastic book for the Napco collector. It offers beautiful pictures of some of the best figurines ever made. If you're a fan of Napco, this book is a must have!

Napco by Kathleen Deel

This is by far the best book on Napco figurines and has MANY of the hard to find items fully photographed. I have been looking for a book to help me on my Storybook collectables for years and this one is a dream come true! Also has birthday angels and many, many more! So much information all photographed and in beautiful full color! Kathleen Deel knows her Napco collectables and now I will too! I highly recommend this book!
