[QUOTE="leeddie, post: 215609, member: 3680"]Welcome, Whitney. There was a time when merchants would give away such plates. Usually they are transferware, but most of those would have something identifying the merchant.. such as "Compliment from ________". You could do a search and see if you could find Antique Flour Mill giveaway plates or the such. One would have thought it would have the name of the company since the whole process of giveaways was product advertisement. When I first saw your plate I thought it was from Germany until I read your comments. I am sure someone who is more knowledgeable will have a better answer. Good luck[/QUOTE]
