The American Pewterer
His Techniques and His Products
By Henry J. Kauffman

Long considered
one of the most authoritative and useful books on the subject. Not
only does the book survey the history and the development of these
historic products, from functional buttons and spoons to the more
sophisticated candlesticks, tankards, coffee- and teapots, but more
importantly it describes and illustrates, step-by-step, how these
products were made. Many excellent photographs of the objects described
are also included. The book will be of great interest to collectors,
artisans, and students of the subject.
132 pages.

“An extensive
introduction concerning the early history of colonial American pewter
production along with the highlighting of both general and specialized
tools associated with the pewterer’s work… followed by an excellent
photojournalistic overview of pewter items.” —The Fine Tool
