Black Memorabilia for the Kitchen (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

An indispensable field guide to a burgeoning area of collecting! In the past fifteen years Black memorabilia has become an increasingly popular area of collecting. The collectors span the nation and cross generational and racial lines and number well over 10,000 each with their own list of wants. With this reality and with the higher prices, it is a challenging area for the new and old collector alike. It takes a vigorous attempt and avid hunting to find them, but that's part of the joy of collecting! This guide will help you identify what is on the market as well as fair values for the piece. Newly revised with full color photographs, size, approximate date, and current prices, this will be an invaluable reference. The book also addresses more recent items on the market and helps the collector guard against unmarked and fraudulent reproductions.
