Average Customer Ratings:

The first of two new volumes, this book contains material from authentic catalogs of the 1920s, which depict styles of authentic residential (ceiling, sconces, lamps), commercial, and outdoor lighting that illuminated America during the Depression era. Companies represented include Gill Glass and Fixture Company, Gillinder and Sons Inc., Meletio Electrical Supply Co., and Halcolite Company, Inc. The styles shown span the eras from the daring Art Deco to the classics. 2001 values. AUTHORBIO: The late Jo Ann Thomas, along with her husband Francis, specialized in old lighting for years, buying and selling from coast to coast. They sold to restaurants and even a dealer in Los Angeles who leased fixtures to the movie industry. REVIEW: This book is the fourth in a five-volume set by noted Indian relics authority Lar Hothem. The hundreds of arrowheads and artifacts featured will be invaluable to collectors, and the book has no repeats from his other volumes.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Not quite as bad as all that -
The previous reviewer says "this book also didn't give the dates of when the lights were originally made so you can't use it to date a light of your own if you want to." This is not accurate. While Volume I did not include dates for the various catalogs reprinted and priced, it did state that the fixtures are from the 1920's. Volume II, however, covers the 1930's and includes the date of publication for each catalog.

My problem with the series is that the books are only a collection of old catalogs with guesses as to the prices of the items. No real life values are shown, auction or flea market. It is an interesting collection, but almost useless as a price guide.

lighting of the depression era -
this book was pretty good lot of good picture but would of liked them all to be in color,this book also didnt give the dates of when the lights were orignally made so you can't use it to date a light of your own if you want to.
