    This plate measures approximately 10" across. The dots are like small hobs and are on the bottom of the plate. It has the picture of Cleveland with his name beneath it and on the top his campaign slogan, REFORM. I found a copy was donated to the Brooklyn Museum but they had no information about it. Anybody know who made it and when it was made? Do these have any value?
    Thanks for any help. Jen

    Yes, that's the plate. He actually ran for President three times and won the first and third times that he ran. His first campaign was probably the one that this was from (1888) because he ran as a liberal who crusaded for political reform and fiscal conservatism. It all sounds so familiar! Still don't know who made it though and I hope you are right that it may have some small value. Thanks for looking.

    Ah, Grover Cleveland. The "inspiration" for "Ma, Ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House, ha, ha, ha."

    They didn't have the National Enquirer in those days!

    FYI...
    Grover Cleveland was the heaviest president.
    He was also the only president to get married in the white house...at 51... to a 21 year old. No,no national Inquirer in those days;)
    AND He is the only NJ native son to hold the office.:)

    The only one to get married for the first time. John Tyler and Woodrow Wilson both got remarried in the White House. Tyler's second wife was a lot younger, but from a very wealthy and connected NY family. Edith Wilson is considered by some to be the first female President; she's rumored to have run the country after President Wilson had a stroke.
