A Must for Collectors of Kitchen Items...

This book is the kind that "hooks" collectors. Having recently purchased most of the kitchen collectible books readily available on the market, I was pleasantly surprised at the scope of this book and the excellent photography, along with pricing guidelines. While this book does not offer specific dating of items, an introduction suffices to lead you elsewhere for extensive research, gives you enough of a broad overview to get you started, and provides insight into the very real difficulties of accurate dating. Given the wide range of items I haven't found elsewhere, I was happy to accept what it had to offer: photos and information about everything from aluminum bowls to wire whips, from the 1920's to the 1950's. This book proves you don't have to aspire to owning a $150 Griswold cast iron pot from the 1800's to love old kitchen equipment and all that it represents!
