DISCUSSION:
A short promotional circular for Savannah silversmith Maria Reigner, with several paragraphs about women silversmiths. Elegantly printed by the Pigeonhole Press in Savannah.
George Barton Cutten [1874–1962] was a psychologist, moral philosopher, historian, university administrator, and author of numerous studies on American silver, who was born in Nova Scotia. As a young man he kicked around at a variety of jobs including reporter, salesman, and pipe fitter, and then was reportedly locked up in his room by his uncle until he agreed to go to university. After graduating Acadia University, he earned a degree in divinity and a PhD in psychology at Yale. He served as president of Acadia University from 1910 to 1922, except for a period during WWI when he took a leave of absence to devote full-time to army recruiting efforts. In 1922 he left Acadia for the Presidency of Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. "Finding Colgate university’s financial affairs in disorder he set out to turn its finances around. For the next seventeen years the school declared a surplus, in the meantime doubling its faculty, plant and assets. His football teams also won championships."
After retiring from academia Cutten devoted his time to collecting and researching early American silver and silversmiths, in which he was helped by his wife, Minnie. During the 1930s and 1940s he assembled a fine private collection, and also authored a number of studies of American silversmiths of various localities around New York, as well as Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina.

OVERSEAS BUYERS PLEASE NOTE:
Our International shipping charges are based on the weight, when boxed for shipping, of each book -please check the postage chart for the cost of shipping to your country. We offer “combined shipping charges” for orders for more than one book –this often means the shipping cost for the books is less than it would have been if they had been purchased and shipped one at a time, so please ask us for a shipping quote if you are thinking about buying more than one book. Thanks!

INSURANCE???
As a seller we take responsibility for properly packing and delivering your purchase safely to you. You do not have to spend extra for insurance to guarantee that.
RETURNS:
We want you to be completely satisfied- anything is returnable for any reason at all within 14 days of receipt; we do ask that you notify us that you are returning it.
OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE:
-We always welcome orders from customers outside the United States. The “Free Shipping” marker found on many of our books only applies to shipping within the United States –we wish we could afford to offer free overseas shipping, but we cannot. Please use the “Shipping & Payments” tab (above) to check the cost of shipping. We charge actual shipping based on weight, so sometimes large, heavy, inexpensive books can actually cost more to ship than the book itself costs –I know that seems odd, but the shipping cost is based on the actual weight of the book, not its selling price. If you have any questions, please use the "Ask Us a Question" button before you buy the book.

Import duties
, taxes and related import charges added by your country are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges, which we never impose. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as ‘gifts’ to avoid import duties, as this is illegal in most countries.
