Long Description
The plate has Ford circa 1896. It appears to have 22 K gold on it too, although it doesn't specify so. It has a quality control sticker on the back of the frame that says "Bard's" of Medelein, Il. I'm guessing that is where it was distributed from.

Sold through the Ford dealership locally in the 1980's

Re: Framed Ford collector plate
Collector's plates have a terrible record as investments, most seldom even regain their original purchase price thirty years after they were issued. Comparbles to your Ford plate sell for about $30.00.
