	LR120 Scarce - Superb specimen as noted by Bilane on the storage envelope. A beautiful Midwestern plate with a great design. < Photos > Envelope	$125
	LR121 Ex Rare - Proof and has a really superb fin as noted by Bilane on the envelope. Also notes one scallop lightly tipped and several small nicks in fin. AGCP notes that the plate is so rare that even badly damaged specimens are considered acceptable. < Photos > Envelope	$395
	LR130 Ex Rare - Bilane notes, "Proof. Try to find another in such condition." < Photos > Envelope	$450
	LR654A Very Rare - Proof plate as noted by Bilane on the storage envelope. Also notes slightly cloudy on reverse of envelope. Ex collection of Paul Carson. < Photos > Envelope	$750
	LR656 Very Rare - Bilane notes, "Proof and has a fin." However, there appears to be a 3/8" manufacturing fracture on the rim at 2 o'clock, which also appears in the auction catalog. An awesome looking plate that looks much better than the AGCP example. < Photos > Envelope	$450
	LR692 Scarce - Bilane notes, "Has the tiniest of tips at W (west). Practically proof". Plate actually has approximately nine tiny nicks scattered around the rim, but the one noted is easy to see on the photo. Difficult to see most of the other tiny rim nicks. < Photos > Envelope	$150

Description of Item
Price
LR81 Ex Rare Reddish Opal - The color of this plate is extraordinary and seldom seen. At first glance the center to part of the inner rim appears to be lavender in color, but when placed to the light it turns to a deep red-brown. In addition to the color, and as noted by Bilane, this plate has six concentric rings on the cavetto with a large raised dot in the center (obverse). Plate is proof with a great "X" straw mark in center. Doubt that a better combination of color and condition for this plate will ever be found. Ex Elsholz Collection, 1986 Bourne Auction, Lot 331 - $350. This plate also belonged to Rose in 1968 as stated in the Bourne catalog.

$275

LR126 Very Rare - An incredible, classic looking design for a great Midwestern plate. Bilane notes, "Minor scallop flakes. Very good for this now very rare plate." Try to find a better example, especially with this provenance and near proof detail.

LR455 ExRare Brilliant Emerald Green - Recorded in Bilane's reference, but not in the AGCP. Only two sales records for one other example could be located for this extremely important plate (Arman's 1997 - Caleb C. Ewing and Green Valley 2003 - Robert W. King $2,310). This example is superior to the Ewing/King specimen, which has two shallow flakes (1/2" and 1/8" wide). Plate is virtually proof except for a minute rim spall on the extreme tip of one scallop and some minor under rim flaking/mold roughness. Minimal/historic high-point wear on rope edge foot with seldom encountered stripling on scallops.
