[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4445361, member: 84"]I found this Los Castillo brass/mixed metal plate at my local thrift store yesterday & when I googled it I almost dropped it at the prices I saw! One interesting thing - I saw many with different triangle shaped designs, but only 1 other with the striped(is that what I should call it - or geometrical shapes?) design like mine - but when I clicked on the link to see it on eBay, it took me to eBay's home page with a message that said "We've looked everywhere but can't find it"? Can anyone tell me more about it? Is it as rare as it appears with the stripe design? Some of the ones I looked at said brass and silver - what is mine made of? The front is a lot duller than the back - I wanted to polish it but at least knew enough to ask here first before I did! Is it OK or should I leave it as is? The plate measures 11.5" across Thank you for any information. [ATTACH=full]381913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]381914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]381915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]381916[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
