Book Review - Glass Toothpick Holders Identification and Values

Glass Toothpick Holders - Identification and Values 2nd Edition is an in depth look at an interesting area of antique glass collecting! The main focus of the book is on pressed glass examples from American manufacturers, and it includes over 1,000 photos and illustrations.

The book begins with a very helpful How To Use This Book section, and then organizes the holders by company. Over 50 manufacturers are represented in alphabetical order, including:

Cambridge Glass
Fenton Art Glass
Fostoria Glass
A.H. Heisey Glass
Imperial Glass
Libbey Glass
McKee Glass
Jeannette Glass
Westmoreland Glass

Each example includes the original manufacturer's name and the "also known as" name, as well as colors, sizes, value, and notes about other incidental information of interest.

The end of the book has sections on unknown and unattributed makers, foreign made holders, holders in metal mountings, and contemporary holders (1950s and later). There is also a bibliography and index, which combined with the How To Use This Book section at the beginning makes this an easy to navigate guide.

Overall this book is a must have addition to any collector's reference library!
