American Copper & Brass Book By Henry J. Kauffman This is a good reference book for collectors of antique copper and brass produced in this country in the 1700s and 1800s. Unlike most modern collector or ID books, you won't be able to flip through this book until you find a picture of your item and determine the value and who made it. But if you read the book, you'll have a much broader knowledge of early American coppersmiths and their work and should be able to determine authentic wares more easily. The book discusses the types of copper and brass items produced and their production methods, and provides documented lists of coppersmiths and brass founders.
