Lefton China by Ruth McCarthy (1998, Paperback)

Ruth McCarthy’s Lefton China with Price Guide is illustrated with clear photographs. The importance of this is that many of the Lefton pieces were purchased with only a paper sticker. Through out the years the paper sticker some how left the piece making it very difficult to identify the maker.

This price guide gives valuable information on the Lefton Company, rare Lefton catalogs. illustrations of the difference styles of identifying marks. Photos with identification information, size, model and a value placed on each piece in a specific category, such as Animals, Banks, Bells, Birds, Christmas, Cookie Jars, Canister Sets, Covered Dishes, Cream and Sugars, Decorative Items, Dishes. Tidbits, and Capotes, Figurines, Hands, Heavenly Bodies (angels), Planters, Salt and Pepper Shakers, Saucers, Cups and Snack Sets, Smoking Accessories, Spiritual, Teapots and Coffee Pots, Vases, Wall Hangings ,etc.

I believe Ruth McCarthy’s, Lefton China with Prices guide would be useful for the collector of Lefton China,and the eBay seller of Lefton pieces.

This price guide helps with ending the curiosity of the is a beautiful hand painted piece you have just acquired or received as a gift.

Here is a warning, collecting Lefton pieces is a little bit like eating popcorn, potatoes chips, you can’t stop, they are beautiful, affordable and a fun collection to begin the collecting experience.
