6d. net. Third Impression.
“Mr. Hayden’s ‘Chats on Old Silver’ deals very thoroughly with
a popular branch of collecting. There are a hundred full-page
illustrations together with illustrated tables and charts, and the
student of this book can wander round the old curiosity shops of these
islands with a valuable equipment of knowledge.... Altogether we have
here a well-written summary of everything that one could wish to know
about this branch of collecting.” _The Sphere._
“The information it gives will be of exceptional value at this time,
when so many families will be forced to part with their treasures--and
old silver is among the most precious possessions of the present day.”

coloured frontispiece and 79 other Illustrations. Cloth, 6s. net.
“Mr. Johnson in this book describes many of the articles a collector
should be on the look out for, giving short but informative notes on
medals, helmet and cap badges, tunic buttons, armour, weapons of all
kinds, medallions, autographs, original documents relating to Army
work, military pictures and prints, newspaper cuttings, obsolete
uniforms, crests, stamps, postmarks, memorial brasses, money and
curios made by prisoners of war, while there is also an excellent
biography on the subject. The author has, indeed, presented the reader
with a capital working handbook, which should prove a friendly and
reliable guide when he goes collecting.” _Field._
