Book of Old Silver: English, American, Foreign

a bit dated

Great old and informative book.

Item as described

Great book lots of different mark that I haven't seen before..

Bought this as an unread book but with maybe slight damage, when it arrived it was almost Mint, so the description was spot on. The Book itself is extremly informative and just what i was looking for.

If you collect silver this book gives a wide range of information. It covers the various town marks of Britain, France and Germany, with a large selection of makers marks. It also covers a wide selection of 18th & 19th Century American silversmiths. If you buy a piece of pre-1900 silver you can have fun with this book finding out who made it, where and when. Most enjoyable and useful

Packed well and as described

Great to read for basic knowledge, difficult to find difinitive answers.

Somewhat older book now but serves its purpose for those interested in various silver eras and cultures. As with any reference work there is always good value and something to learn !

The photography in this book is minimal, black and white and grainy. Extensive and interesting background information, though (126 pages worth). VERY extensive coverage of maker's marks for all countries. Some marks are so small as to need a magnifying glass, however. (Hence the four stars)

great book overall for identifying american coin silver marks along with english and pretty much all other countries marks which can be a hard task but this book makes life so much simplier the book to buy to identify old silver
