Description: Early American Wooden Ware & Other Kitchen Utensils Unclipped dust jacket, 1979 Fifth Printing, Charles E. Tuttle Co. Publishers, Rutland, Vermont. 243 Pages. Here is the enlarged new edition of the first and only authoritative reference book on the various types of Early America wooden ware and kitchen utensils. Prior to the publication of this book in the very limited original edition--regrettably long out-of-print and difficult to obtain--reliable and accurate information about this subject consisted of isolated bits and snatches found in scattered magazine articles and the retentive minds of a few curators, collectors, and craftsmen. "Primitives" which played so intimate and vital a part in the lives of the early settler are classified, cataloged and described with exceptional detail and understanding. Combining simple deduction with painstaking research, the author gives us an account of the origins, use and manufacture of such engaging items as herb, pill and cheese boxes, buckets, bird roasters, bowls and cups, noggins, parers, scoops, rolling pins, shellers, troughs, paddles, presses, drainers, graters, squeezers, sifters, mortars and pestles, piggins, sap tubs and spiles, carriers, yokes, churns, kegs, wash tubs, looms, flails, baskets, driers, traps, etc, etc. A great reference for the collector of early American wooden ware. Printed in Japan, From a pet-free and smoke-free home. Book poly bagged for protection. We carefully pack and promptly ship via Media Mail; Priority Mail is optional.
