Antique Questions Forum / Meriden B. Company Plate

« on: September 07, 2003, 02:29:44 pm »

I was given a really beautiful silver plate a few years back. On the front of the plate on the inside rim it has birds,flowers and spider webs.In the middle it has indentations that look like honeycomb.  On the back it's stamped Meriden B. Company W/scales  then it's stamped quadruple plate. Under that it's stamped 312 with an 11 underneath.Can Anyone tell me about the plate and/or the company that made it?
Thanks.

Antique Questions Forum / Old Horse & Antelope figures I found

« on: August 28, 2003, 09:10:28 pm »

I found two animal figures at a yardsale a few weeks ago. One is a horse the other is an antelope(I think). Both are covered with real hair , have glass eyes and are about 7 inches tall. I've never seen anything like these. Can anyone tell me where I might find more information about them? Thanks!
