Press Release Body = This book gives the reader all of sorts clues for dating coffee
pots, teapots, creamers, wine coasters, decanter stands, flatware pieces and other
types of hollowware.

The book provides early American patent diagrams and 19th century catalog engravings
to help in the identification process.

Two chapters are devoted to construction techniques of early flatware and hollowware
for silver and silver substitutes.

The book also features silver hallmarks for 24 countries including England, France,
Germany, Italy and many more. Silver marks can be confusing. This book simplifies
the process of identifying marks from various countries by using concise
descriptions, charts and historical timelines. The marks are accurate and
up-to-date.

The chapter on silver styles features examples from Renaissance to Art Deco with
pictures of many types of decorative art and architecture.

The appendix includes the British Design Registry System, United States Utility and
Design Patent Numbers, a table of conversions and a section on the new Vienna
Hallmarking convention marks.

You will want to carry this book around with you as a quick reference guide.

With 270 pages, you are sure to find the information you want. This book is
generously illustrated with 146 pictures, most in color, in addition to the silver
hallmarks.
