New York worlds fairs tin templates?
« on: September 17, 2012, 08:03:36 pm »
Found some tin plates that appear to be the template for some dinner plates from the 64/65 New York World's Fair. Cannot find anything like them anywhere on the internet. Anyone seen anything like these? Do we know if they have any value?  Thank you!

The plates are roughly 8 1/16" x 5 15/16".   I found them in my garage when I purchased my house and tossed them aside. Finally going back through some things and came back across them.  Anyone know if there is any value in these pre-production items?  I have been looking around and cannot seem to find anything on these.

Right, I've found plenty of the actual trays out there. I just cannot find anything pre-production like I have.

, unless you,ve got something so unique...that no one has ever seen....then i think this is what you,re looking for....still not a lot of value...and this is in its original box

I think what mriddle has are the printed 'blanks' (don't know the real term) that were inserted into a press to form the trays. Hence my use of 'pre production' in my earlier post.  ;)

relief stencil may be the word you,re looking for....like litho plates or masters for churning out tin plates of no real value....
