A Collector's Guide to Anchor Hocking's Fire King Glassware
Kilgo, Gerry & Dale Wilkins, Jerry & Gail K&W Collectibles, 1997. 202 pages. ISBN: 0963511912. Retail: $29.95 K&W's Fire King book covers dinnerware, kitchenware, and occaisional pieces in the Fire King line. Also included are crystal and colored Anchor Hocking patterns such as Bubble, EAPC, Sandwich, and Vintage.
This book has it's good points and its drawbacks. Several patterns not shown completely anywhere else such as Fairfield, Rainflower, and institutional ware are covered. K&W do a good job of providing line numbers, trademark information, and dates of production. Prices are out-of-date, especially on Jade-ite and EAPC. Photography is only average. Overall, this is a good companion to Florence's FK and More; the two complement each other. Review by: Matt (mfreier) |
