Vtg Century by Salem Godey Ladies Decorative Collector Plate with 23K Gold Trim Century by Salem collectible plate Made in USA • Wide blue border at rim with gold work • Pair of Victorian Godey Ladies in center of plate • Trimmed in 23k gold Diameter ~10.75 Please manage your expectations as this a pre-loved item and will show signs of wear and use. This is in fairly good vintage pre-owned condition with no chips or cracks. There is crazing and some wear to the gold trim, but neither are that noticeable unless you are examining the plate up close. There is black ink on the back of the plate that looks like it might have been a personal inscription. I have not tried to get it off, preferring to leave that decision to the buyer. There is also one pock mark on front center of plate that is original from the manufacturing process. Be sure to review all pictures for a better idea of condition.
