Your plates date before 1941 *, but no huge value. As replacement pieces they go for about $30.00 a plate, but sell for far less at auction.
*During the period between the two World Wars (1925 to circa 1941) Rosenthal porcelain was distributed in the United States by Rosenthal China Corporation based in New York.
European manufactured porcelain for the American market was marked with a cartouche placed over the original production mark. The original mark is often visible beneath the cartouche when placed under a strong light. There are also examples where the cartouche didn't completely cover the original markings.
The cartouche was required to meet the U.S. Government Import Regulations which required all imported goods to be clearly marked with their country of origin. Goods privately imported (e.g. Service Personnel who had been stationed overseas) often failed to comply.
