Seattle World’s Fair

Plates

A number of plates were commissioned and produced for the Seattle World’s Fair. Most plates are quite common and go for a very reasonable price.

However, if you’re looking to buy a set of 8 or 10 pieces it could take a while and become fairly pricey.

 

Frederick & Nelson, a large retailer at the time, produced quite a few different looks. While they all had the same center design they had different colored borders and in your choice of narrow or wide border.
