Manufacturer: Singleton Shoes, Lancaster, PA
Neat vintage find out of a home. This is an advertising or souvenir piece for a retail store in Lancaster, PA (a big tourist destination in Pennsylvania due to the Amish farms and Amish influence in the area).
Small round china plate (this is not porcelain as it is not translucent) with lowered mid-section and upward flared rim with scalloped edge. Measures 6 1/16 inches width and stands 3/4 inch in height, bread & butter plate size. Large center graphic of a chestnut colored or brown horse head with riding bit & reins. At the bottom in dark gold is stamped "Singleton's Shoes" with their address, "32 N. Queen St. Lancaster, PA." Plate weighs 4 ounces unpacked and will be shipped in a box for safety.
We've provided 7 images to show detail. As you can see in one image the backside is blank white, so we don't know who manufactured this souvenir china piece for Singleton Shoe Store. We've shot images both with and without the camera light since the bright light sometimes "blands out" some of the detail (although images without the light appear dark). Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Very nice vintage advertising china piece, with clear store labeling (gold shows a touch of minor wear but very readable), and very nice horse graphic (fully there & good shape). The plate does show age and wear, however, with lots of crazing on both sides (much more on top than bottom) and two small chips on the underside along the rim. These are mostly only visible from the bottom, so no problem for display, but we've included 2 images in two lightings so you can see them. We believe this plate may have once had gold line trim along the outer top edge as we can see some traces of this, but this gold is long gone (less than 10% remains). Other minor expected wear, age wear, storage wear.
Fun addition to any collection of souvenir china or advertising collectibles related to Penna. in general or Lancaster City or County in specific. Would also make a great addition to any horse related grouping. |
