ABOUT THE ANTIQUE SILVER REFERENCE LIBRARY DIGITAL BOOK COLLECTION: Comprising of 32 rare, out-of-print reference books, research manuals and museum works on antique silver (that's 8,783 pages of material covering every area of the silversmith trade). Many books--thought to be lost forever--are being re-published here for the first time in over 110 years! This valuable collection of antique manuscripts has been meticulously scanned and digitized from original source documents. This is a must-have reference source for any serious collector, dealer or investor in antique silver or the silversmith arts. On the secondary book market, the works included in this collection are extremely rare and very difficult to locate--costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars each--if purchased individually. Many of the books were privately printed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and in limited quantities of 175 copies or less for museums and private collectors, making them virtually impossible to purchase by the average person. The Antique Silver Reference Library provides the exact same reference material found in these rare books at a fraction of the cost, making them an incredible value…now available for scholars and avid silver collectors to enjoy.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK AND SUCCESS STORIES: "Hi Rob! How are you today? I was out today looking for treasures (estate sale and a couple of yard sales) Didn't find any real treasures , BUT tomorrow I have planned on hitting several yard sales. I feel the price you have on your CD is very reasonable. I would have never known it was available if I hadn't been researching hallmarks. Well someone invited me to a gold buying party, they buy silver, gold, gold filled and coins . I took a good size lot of stuff, the gentleman took time with me explaining some of the brooches, and other items and how he makes his money. I became very interested and by the time the second party rolled around (a month later) I had been out to all the local sales and auctions picking up gold and silver pieces. I made over $1200.00. Knowing he melts down most of it himself and makes charms, but some pieces he and his wife clean up and resell at jewelry shows. Also I'm sure he has other folks he buys and sells to. So I had picked up some old silverware and some older silver jewelry (which silver is in abundance at yard sales). Some of the pieces I just wanted to know what they were before I sold them for scrap weight. Now I could write you a book now....LOL. The gold man asked me to be a picker for him and that got me rolling, but now since I'm a little more knowledgeable I keep some of the nicer pieces for myself to resell at the flea market for more than scrap prices. My parents owned an antique shop when I was growing up , I hated antiques until I was older. My grandmother lived next door, an antique herself along with her finely decorated Victorian home. I later realized I have an eye for collectables so that's my short story. Have a good evening and thanks for everything!!!"--Annie B. "Hello Rob, the Antique Silver Library CD arrived in Dubbo, Australia on 17/07/2010. It will clearly take me a long time to work through the very interesting content. Regards, Don"--Don Bates, Australia "I am a reseller on ebay and I do estate sales where I list the better items on ebay giving the customers a better chance to get top dollar. Long story short, one can never get enough information on old silver!!! Looking forward to the CD. Thanks." --Bob Scheibe "Dear Mr. Lawrence, I bought your silver cd as my Christmas present to myself off of eBay. I've used it quite a bit since. I must admit, that I love being able to just tote my laptop instead of lugging around all of the British hallmark books when I go to do insurance appraisals. (I do insurance/estate appraisals for a living.) I actually do own quite a few of the books that you copied, but not having to carry around all that poundage is great. Overall, I haven't read everything yet, but I am very happy with the cd and hope that you do something similar for other categories, in the future. I know that you did some American silversmith references, but there is no definitive encompassing record for all American silversmiths for 3 centuries. Just a suggestion. Again, I am glad that you did the silver cd and look forward to eventually get your other offerings. Your newsletters are very good too."--Margaret (Peggy) Basta "Hi, just wanted to let you know that I received your CD today and it is wonderful! There is lots of great reading here, hours of reading actually it's going take me a while to go through it all. My husband doesn't like my silver hobby because he says it costs too much but maybe this will change his mind. LOL!" -- Debra Bachand "Dear Rob, thanks for your update. I recently checked out your CD library on silver - I had no idea the field was so extensive! Thanks for all the wisdom and knowledge imparted. While some of the older references can be a little slow to plough through, this does not detract from the information and value they provide. In addition, the library has opened my mind in different ways to look at what is around me - old keepsakes at home, items at yard sales, bargains at markets, store sales - and so on! I used to think of silver as a 'second cousin' to gold, but I now realise from your library that silver will always be a desired commodity in its own right. Thanks for all the invaluable information provided through your CD library."--Maggie, Melbourne, Australia "Hi Rob, thanks for your E-mail. I am in charge of Administrative Records and and the care of Archives in my place of employment. A part of our historical artifacts is a collection of English antique silver (circa 1770's through to 1900). I am trying to catalogue these items, so I am always on the look out for resources that can help me to provide as accurate description as possible of each piece. Technically this research is not in my job description, so I do it in my own time as a "hobby". I have found your newsletters that come to my E-mail address most interesting and helpful. All the best."--Scott (location withheld by request) "I was able to identify an old rare piece of silver in my collection that had been bugging me for years, your cd is worth every penny and I will be using it on my next buy. If you come across anything else, I want to hear about it." -- Charlie Larkin "Rob, I'm very excited to receive your CD, thank you for putting this together and all the hard work you put into this. I have been a semi-active silver collector/dealer for over 12 years and have never seen such a comprehensive resource. Keep up the good work and thanks." --Frank Farnuci ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
