About this book

Old homes collect small relics, and this guide for collectors sets out to explain what such household objects were first made for and how they were used. Fred. W. Burgess, who also wrote Chats on Old Coins and Chats on Old Copper and Brass, brought it out in London in 1914 with 94 illustrations, as one of a series of collectors' guides. Burgess aims to help those who want to understand their objects more than those who simply pile up curiosities. Pictures come from museum pieces, private collections and sketches by the author's daughter.
