Every candlestick is described with dimensions, production dates, known colors, information on reissues and reproductions, the current location of the mold, as well as current values. This volume will be of particular interest to collectors of Heisey, Hobbs Brockunier, Imperial, Jeannette, and Indiana Glass. A well-illustrated appendix on identifying toy candlesticks, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography round out the book.
