Description

AMERICAN GLASS CANDY CONTAINERS
written and privately published by George Eikelberner and Serge Agadjanian, NJ, 1967/1968.
This comprehensive book is a pictorial guide to antique novelty glass candy containers.  Covering the years 1910-1930 and 1940-1960, these candy containers were also often children’s toys—train cars, telephones, clowns, automobiles and much more.  In a complimentary preface, one writer sums up this book:  “What a record of the times, what a record of progress in so many fields—transportation, historical events, comic characters, articles for ornamentation or usefulness--and what a record of the American scene!”
Each item is pictured in a detailed line drawing and described in depth including name, dimensions, terse description, maker and date when known.  This book, a collector’s item in itself, is a rare delight and will make an ideal addition to the reference library of the collector of antique American glass, antique candy containers, or vintage toys.
8.5” x 11” plastic spiral bound softback in very good condition.  About 200 pages.
