Fun Books to Identify Your Treasured Collectibles

The Toledo Library keeps a lot of older collectibles books to aid in identifying items, so don’t be fooled by the copyright date in determining whether a book like this can be useful. The values are not up to date, but the pictures of the items can be super helpful in figuring out what you have in hand, and what to look for at antiques malls or trade shows. Plus, it’s fun to look through the pictures and shout out, “Hey! We had one like that!” This is a small selection of what we own. Try doing a library catalog keyword search for “collectors catalogs” and be amazed at what you find.
