ANTIQUE 1890's WHEELOCK DRESDEN BRC PLATE CENTRAL AVE NAVY YARD PENSACOLA FL NAS
Being Offered is this very Rare 8" Wheelock Dresden Souvenir Plate from Pensacola Fla.
This Awesome Plate depicts the Central Avenue Navy Yard in Pensacola, Florida. The picture is a view as though you are looking straight down the brick paved avenue that is lined with trees and cannonballs that are stacked in pyramids. The Plate is hand painted a light pink hue and has raised accents that are embellished with a touch of gold.
This Plate is signed on the back with a "BRC Racine Barvaria Crown" (Bauer Rosenthal & Co.), this mark was used from 1897 until 1903, it is also signed with the Wheelock Dresden Mark indicating this plate was made in Germany and sold at Ryan's Variety Store in Pensacola. The  8" plate displays magnificently but is not perfect, it has a chip on the underside of the rim which looks to be original and it has a crack that starts on the edge and ends just before the foot starts to become thicker, it seems to be very stable, Plate shows age and has wear to the gold trim which is to be expected for its age. Plates such as this are rarely seen and would be a great piece to add to your collection.
Thanks for looking!
