| 1968 PLATE - HEMISFAIR WORLDS FAIR, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS |
| THIS IS AN OLD COLLECTOR'S SOUVENIR PLATE OF HEMISFAIR 68, THE WORLD'S FAIR IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. THE PLATE IS APRX 10 1/8" DIAMETER AND HAS WHAT MAY BE A COLD-PAINT FINISH, BUT I AM NOT SURE. THE FRONT DEPICTS THE TOWER OF THE AMERICAS, HEIGHT 622 FT., AND MANY OTHER SCENES FROM AROUND DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO, INCLUDING THE ALAMO. THE REVERSE READS IN GREEN UNDERGLAZE: FINEST IRONSTONE, ______ RESISTANT, OVEN PROOF, JAPAN [THERE IS A ROUND GOLD FOIL "HEMISFAIR 68" STICKER OVER THE MAKERS NAME, SO I CAN'T READ IT, BUT THE NAME ENDS WITH __OOD]. IT SHOWS AGE CRAZING BUT NOT CRACKED OR CHIPPED!! |
