In this book Bernard Hughes, already famous for his books on collecting antiques, suggests and discusses ten items that might well appeal to the amateur collector whose enthusiasm may not perhaps be matched by the size of his purse. From snuff-boxes and those curious mulls and rasps in which people ground their own snuff; from pewter wine measures, introduced to defeat dishonest tavern-keepers, to trivets, posnets and other quaint brass implements that once stood by the fireside; from the many types of silver sugar tongs to flower-encrusted china vases, scent-bottles and other items".
