Finding Identification and Price Guides

In yesterday's blog post, I spoke of Identifying Glassware and showed you several examples of interesting pieces that are currently available for purchase from the great sellers at OnlineAuction.com. Today I thought we'd talk of Finding Identification and Price Guides to boost your success in treasure hunting. No matter the object of your desire, there seems to be a "guide" for collecting.

The guides are often large, hardcover editions. How many do you have? (I have several, but it's never enough!)

Have you ever shopped for one at a retail bookstore? I'll tell you, the prices will shock you!

I was just browsing one day, but found one on a popular manufacturer of porcelain. It was huge! It was fabulous!  And it was filled with valuable photos, current values and dated pattern descriptions. It was going to go home with me... until I saw the $60 price tag!

So what to do? Shop online!

Since that day, I've purchased several guides at very reasonable prices. (A couple of those were real steals!) And I found several tempting offers today! Let me share them with you:

This is an OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO HUMMEL FIGURINES AND PLATES which you can find in the store of Plusizeglamor.

Yes, even collectibles like records have Price Guides! Check this one out, a RECORD COLLECTOR'S 45RPM PRICE GUIDE - BOOK, from JrFleaMarket!

In the store of Morerivethead84 you'll find several Identification Guides, but I chose this one because we were just speaking of glassware, weren't we? Look at this Glass TOOTHPICK holders 1999 BOOK Guide reference!




All of these books are attractively priced! Wouldn't they be a nice addition to your reference library?

Will be listing other vintage kitchen items...really makes me wonder about my 'thought' process all these past years. When something got old and dull...I would toss it and buy a shiny new item. What was I thinking? Now I appreciate vintage (s'pose it is because I am vintage?) and will opt to buy vintage over shiny new Made in China!!! Buy vintage....like a fine wine....it really is better!
