*2-Day* Fresh Barn Finds & Country Estate Auction (Day 1/2)
Lot 67:
Description
C-18865
Lot of six reference books on antiques and collectibles, comprising illustrated price guides and identification manuals covering a broad range of material including general antiques, decorative objects, furniture, postcards, ephemera, and international collectibles. Titles include standard dealer references such as Miller’s International Antiques Price Guide, postcard and mail history guides, and spiral-bound furniture valuation manuals. The group reflects the type of working reference library used by antique dealers and collectors for market comparison, attribution, and pricing during the late 20th century. These publications were widely used during a period when printed price guides were the primary tools for antiques valuation, predating widespread online databases and auction archives.
All books show varying degrees of shelf and handling wear consistent with reference use, including edge wear, corner bumping, surface scuffing, and light soiling. Bindings remain intact overall, with no major structural failures observed. Pages appear complete and usable.
