CONFUSING COLLECTIBLES – A GUIDE TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF REPRODUCTIONS by Dorothy Hammond, Wallace-Homestead Book Co., Iowa, 1969.

”Here in ten concise, informative chapters the reader will find the results of three years of painstaking research in the bewildering field of antique reproductions, adaptations, reissues and fakes. The author has considered many fields of antiques and leads the reader through a step-by-step method in examining antiques and collectibles so he will be able to judge for himself the merits of a particular piece. This lavish volume contains 1,189 plates, 475 which are in full color, one of the most colorful book ever printed. Each plate is accompanied by an informal but authoritative descriptive account, which gives a wealth of information and detail on hundreds of different subjects. The author’s arrangement of the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ side by side in many cases gives a graphic portrayal of the reproduction in contrast to the ‘real thing.’ In addition, numerous confusing ‘new marks’ are fully illustrated.” This scarce text “is the most complete work of its kind and is the guide the collector and dealer in antiques has long been awaiting. It will prove invaluable to the beginner, the dealer and the specialist alike.”

8.75” X 11.3” color imprinted hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 224 pages.
