RICHLAND CENTER, Wis., July 9, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Ceramic money banks are rich in value and in culture. It is perhaps the scarcity of the banks that contributes to them being highly sought after. Readers and collectors alike can learn more about them with the release of the first of two volumes of 100 Years of Ceramic Money Banks, which is authored by Beth Baddeley Huebner.
100 Years of Ceramic Money Banks, the first of two volumes, is a comprehensive, visual guide that showcases many fascinating ceramic works of art and their respective backgrounds. It is designed to provide organized, accurate information about early ceramic banks as it is known to the bank collecting community at this time. It also offers readers the most extensive published information to date, which is captured in two volumes. Each volume contains approximately a thousand banks which are divided into separate categories that readers can easily follow. Each bank is assigned an arbitrary name, country of origin, manufacture date, material used, and a price guide for each bank. The banks represent the time period of 1850-1940 with a primary emphasis on European and American banks. The second volume also contains approximately 1000 banks, and is to be released this fall 2008.
