OUR NOTES:
So far as we are aware, this is the only comprehensive book in print on this specific pattern. This book does not actually carry a copyright date. It does, however, detail the Moon and Star pattern through the various makers who have produced it through the years, beginning with LG Wright in the mid 1930s and also includes recently produced 2001 glassware in the same pattern. Pieces produced in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s are also documented. The book should, therefore, prove invaluable to collectors and dealers.
Among other things, the book also covers the unique, more expensive items such as Moon and Stars Lamps. LE Smith is covered, as well as Weishar, Adams, etc. Look-a-likes are also documented.
Did you know that a LG Wright Syrup in this pattern is worth $1000., and that many pieces are today worth $300., $400. and more? Many dealers routinely pass this pattern by without a 2nd glance. If you need an education in this pattern, we recommend you consider this book.
