I was cleaning our basement yesterday and putting things in their place when I suddenly find this collector's plate. It is a 28 years old plate. It says at the back print that it is the only edition of Father's Day commissioned for Fine China by Edwin Knowles.
I was so surprised to find it there because I thought that I removed all the stuff that was left there by the former owner. The former owner of this house left us a lot of stuff like the old gas stove, which still works. I think they have a kitchen down there before which explains why there is a cabinet and dishes.
Hey Rose,
ReplyDeleteGreat plate. I love things that that. Never know what the value might be. Maybe you should check it out, just to be curious. Also, I need a favor. Can you please change my links. I am now at autismandtheworldaroundme.blogspot.com I had to change everything because of a hacker. What work that was. Thanks so much my friend. See you around soon! Have a wonderful day and don't stay to busy. We girls need a break every now and then.

Sounds like you could write a lot of posts on stuff you found. I like that old plate. It has a Saturday Evening Post kind of charm.

Wow, pretty plate indeed! Thanks for visiting mine.
ReplyDeletehi momi rose, that's one pretty and classic piece. I think classified na siya as an antique and could be quite valuable these days.
ReplyDelete:)
No problem, Rose, you can post RED books next week! This plate may be very valuable... look it up in the china catalog. Happy Ruby Tuesday! Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, that surely is a pretty plate. Makes a nice find. I thought perhaps Norman Rockwell had done the painting buy it appears it is done by a Don Spaulding. Don't know him.
ReplyDeleteI Googled ""Edwin Knowles" father's day plate" to see that and that eBay has one for sale.
Happy RT! I told Joops that already! I am glad you got him to blogging. :-) I can't get Mrs. Jim interested, she'd rather play computer games.

You have been very lucky with your treasure find.
ReplyDeleteI usually love to go hunting for collectibles at markets and in our own attic.
These days we have had a thorough lean out and now I'm reading to throw away anything.
I will probably regret everything I've thrown away.

Hi Rose, how you doin'?
ReplyDeleteFor a moment seeing your profile pic, I thought I had popped into a Vogue magazine blog, ha ha.
Yes, its always finding things we have forgotten or don't know about that brings out the smiles and good fortune.
Have a great week, mabuhay, Lee.
Very nice find! Maybe I should clean out my cellar. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a wonderful surprise! Very sweet design.
ReplyDeleteThat must be a valuable plate, one that belongs to a family heirloom. The former owner of your house left you valuable things like that and the old stove that is still working. Things like them have great sentimental values. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
