Synopsis

The most trusted and complete antiques & collectibles price guide available! The Kovels' 2019 edition is packed with 16,000 listings and 2,500 full-color photographs featuring collectibles in furniture, jewelry, toys, glass, and more.
The Kovels are the most trusted source for both the casual and the expert collector. With 16,000 actual prices, 2,500 full color photographs and 500 marks, the guide also features exceptionally well-organized, wide-ranging, up-to-the-minute information, and includes more tips, marks, logos, and photographs than any other competitive title. Kovels' is the only guide with prices based on actual sales from the previous calendar year, never estimates. Unlike other guides, which focus almost exclusively on English or high-priced items, Kovels' covers all American and international items. The book is organized by categories most sought-after by collectors, including Depression Glass, Dolls, Jewelry, Furniture, Porcelain, and Sports Memorabilia. Indexes, cross-references, and expert commentary throughout empower readers to collect with confidence and price their own antiques.
The 2019 edition includes a special section, "What's Hot and What's Not in Antiques & Collectibles."
