I'm not a Wade collector but needed to research a 1950's figurine given to me by my aunt. I couldn't find anything like it on eBay, so I ordered this book. Within minutes of opening it I had found my piece and enough information about it to list it successfully for sale. As with any reference book on antiques and collectibles, the values must be treated with skepticism since prices change with shifts in collectors' interests. But for basic background information, including illustrations and dating of backstamps, it is excellent.
I love the Wade Whimsey figurines, but I was flying blind until I got this book. I am now a much more informed collector. I highly recommend this book to any collector.
My grandmother gave us wades when we were children. Our rural area was one of the test areas and it was nice to find out that some of the ones I still have are somewhat rare now. Delving through the pages took me down memory lane and spurred me to begin a bit of collecting.
It was very helpful, I had just purchased a group of Wades and was looking for some information. The history of the company itself was very interesting
i have quite a collection of reference books on collectables. this was just so interesting, and with so many examples of the wadefigurines.
