Hagan Silverplate book is complete and easy to use
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I found many of the patterns I collect covered in Hagan's book. The drawings are large and easy to use to identify your pieces. I also bought Hagan's Sterling Flatware which is set up in a similar manner. You can also use both books to note which patterns you want to search for. The dates given in the books allowed me to note which patterns were contemporary with the china I collect. I've looked at other silver identification books and I liked these best.
Exactly what I was looking for!

This book is everything it's cracked up to be. The patterns are easy to find and easy to recognize. I was able to identify everything I had inherited from my mother-in-law. This book is a reference I'll keep for years.
I Love This Book!

Great for the layman and the pro, simple to understand, easy to recognize patterns from detailed drawings! Excellent hobby aid and fun to discover your sought patterns on the pages. There was only one that I could not find out of many, probably because it is pre 1800's! Very inclusive book for post circa 1800 thru 20th century. $$$ well spent for this addition to your research library!
Well organized, clear, detailed illustrations.

The best book on silverplated flatware I have found to date. Well organized, with clear crossreferences and detailed drawings. I particularly like the detailed illustrations which make it easy to identify patterns, specially in the case of similar ones. I highly recommend it.
A "must have" for collect or inherit old silverplate
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is a wonderful find...it picks up where the old Walter Drake catalog leaves off. Whether you are a serious antique hunter, have inherited Grandma's old silver plate flatware or (like me) need to compile a valuables inventory for household insurance, this book saves lots of time and frustration. One of the good things about this book is that it has virtually every flatware maker/pattern listed from the mid to late 1800's to the early 1970's. It is well organized, with large, easy to read samples of silverplate patterns. The only draw back is that the illustrations are drawings...not photos. This is a must have for anyone who is interested in American silverplate flatware! Happy hunting!
