In the 1940s

as invariably their original cardboard boxes fell apart

I'm not sure if it was made for giant-sized checkers

Good overall condition with deterioration to the image as detailed

"The Northern" Hand-painted Greenwood China, Trenton NJ Ironstone PLate stumpwork In the 1940sAs a lover of found language, I love this old plate just for the phrase "The Northern," which to me invites thoughts of the North Star, traveling due North guided by the night sky maybe toward the Canadian border to safety! Plus I love that the "The" matches that of The New York Times pretty much exactly. It is (faintly) stamped Greenwood China, Trenton, NJ on the back, which seems to have operated 1890 c. 1929, supplying serving ware to many hotels,
