Book Description

Excerpt from Pewter and the Amateur Collector The chief object of this book is to assist amateur collectors of old pewter plate to a reasonable knowl edge of the ware and to a direct understanding of their labours. Brevity, in a strict sense, has been deemed essential, as I especially wish to enlist the in terest of those who temperamentally are intolerant of study and yet earnest in their desire for results. Crit ical discernment and a fair conformity to facts have been striven for, but all who have written on the sub jcet of pewter probably recognise that it is the grave yard of congruent accuracy.
