<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 49377, member: 44&quot;]&gt;Over here, you can get plate hangers that do no harm at all. These: <a href="http://www.handyhanger.co.uk/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.handyhanger.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.handyhanger.co.uk/</a> Thoroughly recommended. &lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know if and where these &quot;Handy Hangers&quot; can be purchased state-side? I&#039;ve never seen them before. I have several plates hung in our dining room with the steel and brass ones that I have stretched and like Greg have covered the prongs. I&#039;m not happy with them, but haven&#039;t found anything else. I have a large heavy blue and white &quot;California&quot; by Podmore, Walker &amp; Co. platter (also have a couple of their plates in this pattern) of my great great grandparents that I would love to hang but worry of possible damage even with covered prongs. Like Greg, I&#039;m worry that the Handy Hangers may not be sturdy enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>On another problem of displaying I have a covered tureen and several plates and 1 large plate of black and white &quot;Bochara&quot; by James Edwards that is collecting dust in storage. How I would love to display this also, but there just isn&#039;t enough room. Our mullioned door china cabinet in the dining room is full to over flowing. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have several odd orphan transferware plates displayed on the hutch in the breakfast room that wouldn&#039;t break my heart if they crashed and broke. I don&#039;t have anything of great value or of sentimental value on the hutch because for a couple of decades or more kids were running in and out and pushing and shoving around the breakfast table as well as an awkward husband trying to help. During the Xmas season I remove most of the transferware plates from the hutch and set up a New England winter scene on it. I&#039;m open to suggestion on how y&#039;all display your transferware. Sorry, if this has hijacked your thread, Bev.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
