Early American Cast Iron Holloware 1645-1900: Pots, Kettles, Teakettles, And Skillets

An invaluable information source about cast iron holloware of the pre-Griswold and Wagner era for collectors, museum curators, reenactors, and hearth cooking aficionados. It is the first book to document cast iron pots, skillets, spiders, pans, kettles, teakettles, Dutch ovens, and mortars, plus several items in brass, from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, spanning the years 1645 to 1900. Over 350 photos illustrate identifiable changes in the manufacturing technologies and the vessel forms. Line drawings and detail photos enable the reader to correctly date the objects they find. The engaging text is a product of forty years of collecting and wide-ranging research. Most of the vessels are illustrated in print for the first time. Many of these objects have been seen occasionally in antiques shops or at auctions, but they have never before been identified in the literature. This will be a standard reference book for many years to come.

There is a wealth of new and excellent information regarding early cast iron hollowware written by a life long researcher. As an advanced collector (of 45 years), I found many facts that I had not uncovered through my own research and study. Problematic are the many, many descriptions that are unclearly written by the author which should have been corrected had a quality editor been assigned by the publisher to clarify these author explanations/descriptions. Otherwise, a great source book and a MUST have. JEK

It has a limited amount of information as far as I'm concerned. What it did have was helpful but i didn't think it justifies the price.

Great pictures and informative information. Yet, it doesn't cover Griswold, Wagner, BSR or early Lodge thoroughly enough to be a guide to the average collector.

This is a terrific book, both for reference and enjoying the gorgeous photos of these timeless, enduring pieces.

This is an excellent cast iron collectors resource book. Just wish it came in hardcover.
