Book Description
Drop everything! (Don't worry, it's unbreakable.) It's here, it's new, it's modern, it's practical. It comes in cheery and contemporary colors, and it's good enough to use every day. This vibrant, information-packed study of plastics wares made for the kitchen and dining room spans the decades of plastics' first development, and their transition from military to popular home markets. Discover the appeal and charm of these wares, which are widely available on the collector's market today. Items are organized by use (serving pieces, cooking, flatware, household) and by manufacturing lines (Raffiaware, Arrowhead, Texasware, Tupperware, etc.) with current prices for collectors.
About The Author
Jo Cunningham, a long time collector, lives in southern Missouri.
Reader Reviews
This book is filled to the brim with hundreds of pages of plastic ware from the 30s to the 60s. Goldberg gives us photos of everything from plastic toothpicks to appliances. He includes everything you can think of: barware, bowls, canisters, cookie jars, clocks, containers, flatware, glasses & tumblers, napkin rings, picnic items, refridgerator dishes, salt & pepper sets, utensils, even watering cans! There is a large section which covers dinnerware, with over 25 different manufacturers, including a nice section showing various backstamps. He includes a bilbliography, value guide (which may not reflect current online auctions prices), and a short history of plastic as it was introduced to America. My only quibble with this book is that I wish the photos were a little better lit, they are a little dark in some sections. But all in all, a valuable reference.
