This little book would be a great addition to anyone's library who collects or deals in silver jewelry and objects. The first five chapters talk about the different methods of examining silver, various types of silver and silver plating, ways silver items are made, and how to identify and date pieces by style and period. The rest of the book is dedicated to international silver hallmarks . . . (it) has fresh information and up to date hallmarks.

Reader Reviews
I expected a book on how to price antique silver, but found so much more! This book covers everything from the history of silver itself to the different construction methods, artistic styles, and the numerous international hallmarks. I could not put it down. It has pictures and illustrations on almost every page, and the information is written in a clear concise style. As the author claims on the jacket of the book "After reading this book you will know more about silver than many of the people in the business" I am confident that I know a lot more than I did before this book, and I have a strong foundation to build on. Although this is a paperback, it is well made with solid bindings, and I am sure I will carry it with me on my trips to antique establishments here in New England. I look forward to her next book!
