[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 421555, member: 51"]Got these on the last day of this recent sale. The little one (Haddon plate) was $5 and the large one $10. I realize resale value is minimal, but I thought I might be able to use the large tray for something -- neighbor's potluck, to display things at a garage sale... I dunno. The little dish I just found so attractive... until I wrecked it (I think!) So had a few questions. First, what do you call the edging to these two pieces. Pewter? Now that I'm examining the larger tray, and especially after what happened to the dish, I think I better not touch it. Maybe it is too worn, and better keep it in its sort of "evenly distressed" mode. Here is what happened to the little dish. Was thinking it just needed a polish, but once I got it home realized it had an even layer of kitchen oily dirt or dust-- sort of that coating estate sale things get when they are on display forever without being used, when stored near cooking oils, etc. So I got some kitchen soap and water on a clean rag and tried to clean it off. Now maybe this would have happened no matter what I did, or not impossible it was already like this but the dust was filling the holes, but this seemed to pit it in spots. See last photo. General thoughts appreciated. The large tray is not signed which seems odd, but probably doesn't matter. I do think it might work for something... maybe Halloween candy?
