This classic reference book is a collector’s item in itself. ”First published in England 35 years ago, this lengthy monograph by the late H.H. Cotterell is far and away the most authoritative and comprehensive work on old British pewter. It has, in fact, no rival. The new edition is as complete and lavishly illustrated as the original; nothing has been omitted…it traces the history of pewter-making in the British Isles, and goes on to identify every mark and imprint by which such pewter is known…” OLD PEWTER – ITS MAKERS AND MARKS – In England, Scotland and Ireland – An Account of the Old Pewterer and His Craft by Howard Herschel Cotterell, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, VT, 1963/1970. “Illustrating all known marks and secondary marks of the old pewterers with a series of plates showing the chief types of their wares…A glance at the chapter titles in Mr. Cotterell’s table of contents will readily indicate to the reader the thoroughness with which he has presented the ‘account of the old pewterer and his craft,’ as he calls it: I. Short Historical Introduction; II. The History of Pewter-Marking as Told in the Records; III. The Old Pewterers and Their Touchplates; IV. Secondary Marks, Collectors’ Difficulties, Pewterers’ Tokens and Trade-Cards, Etc.; V. Illustrations of Examples of Pewter-Ware; VI. Alphabetical List of Pewterers, with Illustrations of Their Marks, Where Known; VII. Alphabetical List of Those Marks Which with the Device, Bear Only the Initials of Their Owners’ Names; VIII. Illustrations of Those Marks Which Must Be Designated as ‘Obscure,’ for Want of Any Indication as to Their Ownership; IX. Index to devices in Marks Illustrated in Chapters VI, VII, and VIII; X. Index to Hall Marks in Chapters VI, VII, and VIII. In addition to the information provided in these ten chapters, Mr. Cotterell supplies a list of hallmarks without owner’s initials, a bibliographical list of works dealing with British pewter and pewterers, and a general index.
