Raycraft Americana Price Guide Volume I

Twenty years ago there was a significant amount of regional influence in what collectors had the opportunity to purchase. The national influence of the home decorating magazines has rearranged our tastes as consumers. Corn dryers from Illinois, tobacco baskets from Kentucky, watering cans from Ace Hardware on the corner, shabby chic tables from the city dump, and table cloths from Aunt Harriet's estate sale decorate the covers of the monthly publications. Walls of metal lunch boxes from 1 950s and 1 960s television programs compete with flea market finds for attention . Somebody said "It's not good or bad, it's just different."
