    Description

    Hello!
    I'd like to be one of your favorite sellers!
    It is used, so it is not perfect, but very nice condition for being  74 years old!
    For the true Shenango fan, this is priceless!
    I just toured the Lawrence County Historical Center,
    I didn't see anything like this.  They have an extensive collection of china, but not the literature.  I see people selling Shenango china coffee cups for as much as 5!
    I'll ship  Priority Mail  - that gets insurance and tracking, it will be well packed.
    This listing is about TWO items:
    1) The Shenango Pottery China catalog #271 from around 1948,
    but doesn't have a copyright date.  This is used but still has magnificent color quality.
    This gives the catalog number of many designs, (no nicknames) and the name of different pieces of ware from that era.  There were many types of ash trays and match holders, cups, plates, gravy boats, and lots more, you will learn much about the ware that is still being sold on EBAY every day.  The pictures show that when the design was on the edge only, there were 7 plates on a page,  but when the design went out thee middle, only 3 to a page.
    NOTE: the front cover is starting to lose some of the connection in the spiral binding.  Be gentle!
    2) The employee manual from 1948, it lists 3300 men and women,  their department and start date, and many pictures of the workings of the plant.  Shenango was at this time the largest in the world, invented
    many of the machines and processes, and at the time I worked summers in college in the early 1970's,
    was still using some of the same tried and true methods.  A true picture of how it was done in 1948!
    NOTE:
    a few age spots on a few pages
    From my hometown of NEW CASTLE, PENNSYLVANIA
    NOTE: this is NOT material that is currently available.
    I'm retiring, giving up the big house, so all my treasures must go!
