PHILADELPHIA SILVERSMITHS by Hollan -Great Mark Photos- Newest & Best

Description

This is a new book by Catherine Hollan on Philadelphia Silversmiths. 391 pages, separate listings of Engravers, Clockmakers, and other related metal workers. The birdbacks and patterns are sorted out with lists of the smiths who are known to have used them. A great research book of over 1,000 marks used by the silversmiths. 3,800 entries in the list of silversmiths, watchmakers and jewelers. Over 130 birdbacks and other pictureback designs. This is the best and most authoritative information available. Old mis-attributions are corrected, carefully researched attributions are made. A stunning book and a must for anyone buying or selling American Coin Silver. Big, clear photos of virtually every known Philadelphia mark. I will be happy to answer any questions.
