Book Description
THE FIRST AND ONLY GUIDE TO ALL THINGS AMERICAN
Collectors are waking up today to the new growing value of American memorabilia, often the symbolism of all these objects speaking louder than the objects themselves. The Official® Price Guide to American Patriotic Memorabilia describes any piece, utilitarian or decorative, that speaks to our national heritage. Written by Michael Polak, a leading antique expert in all things American, this is the only book dedicated to putting a value on American flags, Uncle Sam items, World War I and II collectibles, recruiting and movie posters, political campaign materials, sheet music, American eagles, all symbols of American freedom, and much, much more. This valuable guide also provides a brief history of American patriotic memorabilia, tips on how to buy, sell and build a collection through dealers and the Internet, and a complete reference directory of associations, clubs, and museums. This very timely book not only values our historic heritage but creates a bond to our collective American past.
