Stangl and Pennsbury Birds: Identification and Price Guide

by Mike Schneider

Book Overview

Brightly colored Stangl Pottery earthenware bird figurines were made in New Jersey from the 1940s into the 1970s. The very similar Pennsbury birds were hatched in Pennsylvania during the 1950s by former Stangl employees. Today both companies' wares are eagerly sought by collectors in all parts of the country. In this first book of its kind, Mike Schneider shows the entire Stangle Birds of America series plus 60 examples of Pennsbury birds in beautiful individual color photos. There is also a chapter on the little known but highly desirable Stangl animal figures. This user-friendly book, in which the Stangl birds are listed by the model number, also includes an alphabetically arranged name index for complete and easy cross referencing and close up photos of marks. A price guide based on the current market makes this beautiful volume an invaluable tool for collectors and dealers.

Customer Reviews

The BEST and ONLY book on the subject.

Excellent book. Wonderful pictures, almost the entire collection is pictured. Information is clear and precise. Prices are higher than what today's economy can support but that seems to be the way with all price guides. I highly recommend all of Mr. Schneider's books, they're very well written, pictures are clear, price guides are realistic and they're extremely user friendly.
