Book Information

MIJC members have combined photos of some of their personal collections to make a china reference book. We felt with so many different molds, trying to ID them would be so much easier if we had a photo to compare to.

The book is printed on pre-punched pager for insertion into YOUR 3-ring binder. (Currently fills a 2" binder) Usually, 4 photos per page, and divided in sections by make or category. No values are given, as this is for ID only.

ORIGINAL BOOK, 1996 - #1 thru 4*682 pix

Sections - Lef ton, Napcoware/NatiOnal Potteries, Norcrest, Josef Original, Enesco, Shaf ford, Norleans/UcagcO, Clover, Other Known, and Unknown (still the largest section)

We will have another undate availbe in late summer 2002. Should be a little smaller than the last one. Surely we have found almost all of the Japan chinas??

ALSO, fellow member Kim Jacobs has an information supplement that is available for purchase. She originally did this as a column in the model mag TTR Pony Express. Her pages cover the history of the various china companies/importers, and she was able to uncover alot of little known facts. Price is $23.
