The original Carters books are not being published anymore,very sad.

But you can still get the other ones.

Old Carters are still worth buying as they still provide you with information on pieces.

The best way to learn is by hands on,going to Antique & Collector fairs,asking questions,handling items to get a feel of each piece.

We love people sharing on the Antiques board,please remember to provide photo's,including base shots even if there is nothing on them as theses can still provide clues for Iding.

Someone is not always able to help with Id's but can point you in the right direction.

There is a wealth of knowledge there & we don't bite....

Some know about certain pieces,others about something else.

Join in,would love to see what you have found,each month there is thread on what you have found for that month.

Cheers kat
