Reader Reviews
Not only does this reference book give the values and descriptions of Depression Glass, it shows how to tell if they are reproductions. Small details that would be overlooked normally are described and shown in photos and line drawings to keep the buyer from purchasing a fake. Any item that is considered to be highly collectible will have imitations, and this guide will show you how to find the real thing rather than the knock offs. Patterns are shown in drawings and photos, along with listings of the colors they were made in, which is another tell tale sign of a reproduction. Vital for the collector, as well as those buying for resale.
