<p>[QUOTE=&quot;&#039;Nuff_Said, post: 9065, member: 181&quot;]Thanks, Sharona!</p><p><br /></p><p>I may not be the oldest, smartest or most experienced picker here or out there in the field, but I darn sure try my best each time out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Out of that lot above, I like the poster the most. I sent images to one of the best auction houses in the country when it comes to vintage posters and they got back to me today. Their only concern was the size regarding it being original or repro, as my piece is nearly double the size of the one housed in that museum&#039;s collection. But, they said; <i>&quot;it may not have been common enough to reproduce in large quantities - otherwise we might be seeing more results&quot;</i> --- meaning, it&#039;s probably original. It was &quot;tricky&quot; (their word) to place a value on it as they were only able to find one other example --- the example within that link.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like <i>&#039;Tricia Nixon&#039;</i> (President Richard Nixon&#039;s eldest daughter) wanted or got 12 of those Chamberlain&#039;s Worcester armorial porcelain plates for a wedding gift back in 1971 according to this 1971 newspaper article&#039;s quote: <i>&quot;Tricia also suggested (in case nobody gets her the silver, crystal or china) she would like Royal Worcester ovenware with strawberries, and a set of 12 antique Royal Worcester service plates valued at $250. The 160-year-old plates are white with gold scalloped edges and, at the top, a blue Medieval crest — Universa Benevolentia (benevolent universe)&quot;.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
