Description:

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, patriotic and other events were celebrated in the United States with a profusion of honey-combed tissue-paper products starting in the early twentieth century. The largest American manufacturer of these paper fantasies was - and still is - The Beistle company in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. The guide to their paper products is arranged for easy reference by season and then by theme. It includes Beistle catalog images of the period as well as exact dates of manufacture for each of hundreds of these paper items through 1960. Descriptive copy includes original prices. The author's text includes a history of the Beistle Company and an overview of their production - season by season. Collecting Guide is the first in a two-part series. The second book, The History and Magic of Honeycomb, co-authored by Virginia Gunn and Jeannette Lasansky, focuses on the development and use of honeycomb paper goods in the Far East, Europe and the United States as well as related phenomena in textiles, patterned glass, aerospace, clothing and more.
