Pictorial Guide to Christmas Ornaments and Collectibles: Identification and Values
This
easy to use, new pictorial guide will be the ideal book to take on trips to
antique stores and flea markets. The captions of the almost 2,000 color
photographs include the title of the piece, size variations, where made,
reproduction information, rarity rating, and current collector value. A brief
introduction, history, and collector notes are included. Glass ornaments of all
types are featured: animals, beads, Santas, trees, buildings, crosses, food,
patriotic items, and much more. There are not only fabric ornaments, but wax,
metal, Sebnitz, and others. There are also many miscellaneous Christmas
collectibles featured, including lighting, candy containers, plaques, dolls, and
other figures and decorations. 2004 values. AUTHORBIO: George W. Johnson has
been collecting antique Christmas decorations for over 30 years, and is a member
of the Golden Glow of Christmas Past, a club for enthusiasts of Christmas
memorabilia. He is an elementary and middle school teacher who specializes in
working with talented and gifted students in Southern Local Schools near Logan,
Ohio. REVIEW: George Johnson's book on Christmas ornaments adds a nice touch to
any collector's bookshelf. This new volume is largely about glass ornaments and
happily includes a wide range of them. Other chapters deal with Dresden
ornaments, plus paper, wax, fabric, metal, and plastic decorations. Additionally
there are sections on electric lighting, tree tops, and stands. Altogether there
are nearly 2,000 full color photos with descriptions and values.
