A full color guide to midcentury Kensington Aluminum, Nov 26 1998
By nsight@cysource.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Art Deco Aluminum (Paperback)
Softback, color, 158 pp, includes introduction, catalogue, bibliography, price guide, and index. This is a wonderfully photographed overview of the Kensington line of Art Deco and Machine Age style aluminum designed by Lurelle Guild.The collector is provided with basic background historical and biographical information on the Kensington line, Lurelle Guild, and Alcoa. The real strength of this book lies in the lavish photographs of many Kensington pieces.
The book is incomplete in that many items are not pictured. While more complete guides are rumored to be in preparation, this book it is still the first and only guide to Kensington and an indispensible source of information for the art deco, machine age, and aluminum community.

Kensington ware, Sep 6 2010

This review is from: Art Deco Aluminum (Paperback)
I love this book. I am originally from New Kensington, PA and my father worked for Alcoa and we have quite a bit of the Kensington ware that is shown in this book. I really loved finding out more about it. My dad would have enjoyed seeing this and reading it. My brother and I are having fun finding our "treasures" that our parents left us. Nice book, good pictures and very informative.

Nice source of information about the Kensington aluminum line of products. Pricing may be a bit off, depends upon region, I suppose, and whatever folks are willing to pay / charge for items.
