About this product
Product Information
In thousands of years of tilling the soil, we have created a great variety of garden tools to dig, cut scrub, harrow fields, and trim borders. What makes the tools unique, and collectible, is the way function has dictated form, resulting in not only ingenious shapes, but artistic ones. In the 19th and early 20th centuries garden tool catalogs listed hundreds of task-specific tools including dibbers, mattocks, potato hoes, onion hoes, daisy grubbers, claws, weeders, forcers, straighteners, garden row markers, garden reels, rakes, watering cans, water tanks, lawn mowers, lawn rollers, weed whackers, and many many more. _x000D_This book looks back at two hundred years of garden history, and attempts to identify the tools and accessories that gardeners used, and as much as possible identify their specific functions. With over 750 color photographs, concise captions, and a guide to prices in today's antique marketplace, this is a useful as well as beautiful exploration of garden implements. AUTHOR: Myra Yellin Outwater is an award-winning journalist who has written extensively on antiques and design; her husband, Eric provides most of the photographs. They live in an old Pennsylvania stone farmhouse surrounded by gardens.Product Identifiers

Antique Garden Tools and Accessories
I was a little unsure of this books content once I had ordered it as thought it would be mainly American tools but was pleasantly surprised to find it was mainly English tools.There were not many price guides but these fluctuate greatly due to condition that I was not that bothered.I found this book a great help as there is not that much information available....even on line.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
