[QUOTE="rjbuttliere, post: 9733792, member: 85222"]Here are the backsides, plus in situ just for fun! :) The plate hanging brackets are obviously my own. [ATTACH]474569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]474570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]474571[/ATTACH] Frankly, I don't know the answers to either of the first two questions. I'm only working off guesses. At the very least, this would be ideal. I found my two plaques in March 2023, but a Google Lens search didn't turn up any visual matches until this past weekend, when the image of the Communication plaque suddenly appeared at the top of the search results. Not sure how that makes sense seeing as that photo was posted years back, but I'm not complaining as it confirms there are more. Pictures of one or more plaques in situ would certainly help determine whether they were each one-offs or part of a batch in the same style. For now, I think I'll explore 1930s-40s San Francisco as the post-Depression architectural style there is remarkably consistent with the three plaque designs.
