Description

THE COMPLEAT AMERICAN GLASS CANDY CONTAINERS HANDBOOK
by George Eikelberner and Serge Agadjanian, Bowden Publishing, OH, 1986.
Detailed line drawing pictures with in-depth descriptions highlight this comprehensive pictorial guide to vintage glass candy containers.  This is a collector’s catalog of over 850 candy containers made of glass and sold to serve double-duty as children’s toys.  The majority of these containers are transportation toys—trucks, trains, airplanes—but many are figural, human or animal, as well as the famous Liberty Bell and toy guns, lanterns, telephones and other everyday items.  From these authors, who have written several books about glass candy containers, this revised and updated collector’s guide is comprehensive and includes a price guide.  A useful bibliography and appendix concerning display cases rounds out this essential volume for collectors of glass toys, especially those which began as candy containers.
8.5“ x 11“ softback in very good condition.  About 200 pages.
Includes 8-page 1990-91 price guide supplement.
