Glass Toothpick Holders
by Bob Sanford
Many devotees of early American pattern and pressed glass have generated an interest in collecting toothpick holders. These small but appealing pieces made their first appearance in the 1880s and were made in almost every type of material -- china, wood, metal, and more. This unique book focuses on American-made glass toothpick holders, primarily pressed glass. Organized by manufacturer, this book encompasses holders from a myriad of companies, including Adams & Co.; Dugan; Fenton Art Glass; Hobbs, Brockunier & Co.; New Martinsville Glass Manufacturing Co.; and Westmoreland Specialty Company. Because collectors usually find other small items to complete patterns that do not include toothpick holders, the authors have also included a few miscellaneous items such as mustard bottoms, bar glasses, open salts, and match holders. Original manufacturer's name, the popular name of the piece, dates, all known colors, size, current values, patent information, and other pertinent facts are provided for each toothpick holder pictured. Over 900 full-color photographs and numerous line drawings, catalog pages, and original ads comprise this exciting new book -- a must-have for glass and toothpick holder collectors.
R. S. Prussia Popular Lines
by Mary Frank Gaston
Well-known author Mary Frank Gaston has pulled from all her R.S. Prussia knowledge for this all-new book on R.S. Prussia porcelain. The popularity of her first four books on the subject created a demand for a similar, yet unique look at this beautiful porcelain. R.S. Prussia Popular Lines focuses on the "best of the best" examples from a massive line of pieces. This book groups the pieces by the decoration, rather than centering on mold identification. Focusing on R.S. Prussia china made by the Reinhold Schlegelmilch factories in Suhl and Tillowitz, the first chapter presents the company's history. Decoration on porcelain in general and on R.S. Prussia specifically is discussed, followed by a section on the six variations of the R.S. Prussia wreath and star marks. Pieces which have popular decorations and those which are quite prevalent and readily found are presented. Floral transfers, scarce and rare decorations, and a complete section on reproductions add to the book, which also contains three convenient appendixes: a mold identification chart, a floral identification chart, and artists' signatures. Indexes for decoration themes and objects are also included with value ranges provided for each piece. Collectors will cherish this beautiful tribute to some of the most popular pieces in R. S. Prussia history.
The Frank Collection
by Don Maitz
It's a legendary collection, containing the largest assortment of fantastic art in the world--and including the most celebrated names in the field: Earl Bergey, John Berkey, Chesley Bonestell, Margaret Brundage, Frank Frazetta, H.R. Giger, Frank R. Paul, J.K. Potter, Boris Vallejo, and many others. And this landmark book, the first ever fully illustrated guide to these fabulous paintings and sculptures, offers an uncannily close experience to touring the Franks' gallery live. Each room is organized around a theme: the Reverence Room focuses on "space paintings," chosen for their astronomical subject matter or hard science-fiction premise. The pièces de resistance here are major large-sized works by Chesley Bonestell. Horror Hall contains deeply intense images, among them Bob Eggleton's Necroscope and Carl Lundgren's Weird Tales covers. The oldest and rarest paintings, such as J. Allen St. John's Tarzan and His Mate, go on the dining room's Wall of Fame. Contains a complete catalog of every work in the collection.
