The cheerful design of household items which depict black people
have made them collectible to a wide group today. Prompted by
nostalgia and memories of warm households peopled by loving black
hands, these kitchen tools with cute expressions so pleasant to
have around are used as decorations in many homes. And in the
collecting world, they are becoming popular. The legend which
started Aunt Jemima pancakes is told and illustrated with many
different variations of her image. Over 250 color photographs of
spice shakers, tea sets, toys, match safes, books, ash trays,
advertising cards, wall plaques, vases, etc. depict the diversity
of items made with images of black people as the main design.
Patent drawings of many designs are reproduced here from the
archives of the U.S. Design Patents office. A price guide is
included for quick references.
