Synopsis

Includes research companion DVD In the premiere edition of Raycrafts' Auction Field Guide, father & son team Don and R.C. Raycraft share their experience, advice, and humor on American antiques and collectibles sold at auction. With informative text, hundreds of color pictures, and a research companion DVD, they take you out to survey hidden treasures at the auction. Everything from vintage Indy race cars to old spice tins is included, along with chapters on country store collectibles, coffee and tobacco tins, soda pop memorabilia, antique advertising signs, and all that crosses the auction block. Criteria and protocol for buying at the auction are explained in depth; collectibles are evaluated; and there is a special section on the must-know vocabulary needed to succeed at the auction. The Raycrafts' final examination strips away your self-assured veneer to teach you what you really know about the value of collectibles and antiques. Raycrafts' Auction Field Guide is an essential addition to the beginning and seasoned collector's library and a priceless hands-on source of information when out at the marketplace.
