I have bought a lovely sugar? butter? or jam? dish. The dish is porcelain with cobalt blue, gold trims and orange flowers. It sits in a silver coloured basket and has a lid. No marks on basket or lid and they look newer than the dish does - perhaps made for it later?. The dish is marked underneath and after much searching on internet cannot find a similar mark. I know it has a registration diamond with I think IV at the top. Rest is unreadable. It has the number 2540 handwritten in orange. I woud really appreciate your help in identifying the maker or year it was made and even what it was really used for.
Regards
Sandra
Hoosier kitchen cabinet set with 2 matching storage cabinets, one with shelves, the other with hanging pegs for brooms, etc. The main cabinet has 3 drawers, one being a metal bread box.
Original Breuners metal tag in first drawer. All three pieces have the Hoosier metal tag on outer door. Other than a bit of humidity stain on inner lower cabinet, furniture is in excellent condition.
I do not know much about it except that it looks like a nice piece of American History in the form of a check and it is also framed.

Thanks for any information. Do people besides me collect these?
I think it is neat because it payable to Chicago & Eastern Illinois Rail Road who were bought out a few times and is now Union Pacific(from my research)
