I'm always surprised to see these bits of paper that survive decades of time. So pleased to see that one or several people liked an item enough to hold onto it. That said, the deco design of this old plate is just great! Seller was conscientious, described condition accurately, & wrapped for safe arrival. Package arrived quickly. Thank you!

thank you so much for your kind feedback and thank you so much for your purchase, I'm glad that you love it as much as I did!
