This book guides those who are totally ignorant of antique silver to a reasonable standard of knowledge in a short time.

The text is supported by hundreds of illustrations of silver pieces and the author analyzes the values of these pieces in a manner which should leave the novice with a much clearer understanding of the complex factors which go to make up the assessment of quality of a piece of silver.
