YES Overall Comments: Of all the books we have, this is one of our Favorites that we enjoy looking at. If you are looking for info on a makers or marks, you won’t find it here! What you will find is a great layout to help you match up a piece you have with one in the book. As you move through the book, you will notice that there are $50.00 pieces of jewelry along with $7000.00 pieces of jewelry. Who knows, maybe you will be the next one to find and match up one of the treasures in the book, I know several who have!! | |
