Illinois Soldiers and Sailors Home, Fenton   Updated 4/3/2008    More

While these souvenir plates are expensive and desirable, they're hardly rare--I more than 20 having sold from 1005 to 2007 and that doesn't include every auction. Blue and marigold appear in about the same quantities. You can see Fenton's Berry and Leaf Circle pattern showing through. Fenton also made a similar piece called Indiana State House.
