Featured Copper Dish With Writings

I can’t make a single word out of this writing, can you?

 

Mirror image?

 

I think so. Will try to find an online editor that can reverse the image.

 

I’ll when I get home.

 

to Mr. William Earnest Seton Jr. United States Navy on Tuesday, the eighteenth of June, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Nineteen. New York City. Sniped twice

 

Looked up clopper and got:
"Sexual Gratification or Erotica involving ponies, specifically ponies seen in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."

Hmmm.

 

SNIPED THRICE!!!!!!!

 

Looking at Aquitaine's enhancement, I think the groom's surname was Acton, not Seton. Unfortunately there are no other obvious uses of either capital A or capital S, so that may be wrong.

 

Yup - William E Acton Jr married Allene Baker in NYC, 18 Jun 1918.

 

And a long (and hopefully happy) marriage it was. Here's their Find A Grave record. She died in 1973 in Virginia and he in 1986.

Thanks all for the help. Any chance to edit the beginning?

 

Well, her father's name was Barnabus Baker, so that's part of it. The whole thing is in the usual format of a wedding invitation. Why it's "in reverse" I'm not sure.

 

Looking at the second line, I think it's a "wedding announcement" rather than an invitation. Sent out after the fact to people who weren't invited.

 

Hi,
It was the original copper plate for printing the invitations. Someone had bent into a bowl. That is why it is inverted. I had a friend whose father was a printer and that was something that he did with the old printing plates.
