SET OF 7 MALIBU PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH COMMEMORATIVE PLATES

By 79ROCKETTE, 20 April, 2010
Description

THESE COMMEMORATIVE PLATES WERE GIVEN TO MY GRANDFATHER IN THE 1950'S BY HIS LOCAL CHURCH IN MALIBU, CA. NOT SURE IF THERE WERE 8 AT ONE TIME, BUT I'M ONLY IN POSSESSION OF 7 TOTAL. THEY PLATE ITSELF IS EGGSHELL WITH SEAFOAM GREEN, ALL SURROUNDED BY AN INTRICATE 18 OR 24 KT GOLD DESIGN. ALL PLATES ARE RIMMED WITH THE SAME GOLD. THE BACKS HAVE THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH AND IT'S FOUNDERS. EACH PLATE IS STAMPED IN GREEN "EGGSHELL GEORGIAN HOMER LAUGHLIN MIDE IN TH U.S.A. K 52 N 5. TRAGICALLY, THE CHURCH A FEW YEARS BACK WAS DESTROYED IN A MALIBU FIRE. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE COULD GIVE ME A BALLPARK ESTIMATE OF WHAT THESE MAY BE WORTH. I'VE FOUND MANY SINGULAR PLATES SIMILAR TO THIS ONLINE; BUT HAVE YET TO FIND A MULTIPLE QUANTITY...CAN ANYONE HELP ME???
