TRIVETS - BOOK 1
by Dick Hankenson, Wallace-Homestead Book Company, IA, 1972.
Black-and-white photographs have identifying captions with pattern name, maker and date when known, scarcity, and value [1972].  The book discusses how trivets were made, and a comprehensive index leads the reader to the various trivet types (e.g. brass, cast iron, children’s trivets, hand wrought, laundry, platter, stove pipe, tile, Tailor’s goose, wire, wooden, and odd trivets and core makers tools).   Patterns are endless – geometric designs, spiders, stars, anchors, flowers, hearts, good luck, lacy, tree of life, leaves, animals of all kinds, snails, and more.  This rare book is a collector’s item in itself and an invaluable resource reference work for the collector or dealer of antique trivets.
