<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wcubed, post: 1296101, member: 12663&quot;]This is interesting.&nbsp; From your link: </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;On <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Day" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Day" rel="nofollow">Armistice Day</a> 1925, local businessman <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Kloeppel&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Kloeppel&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow">Robert Kloeppel</a> announced to crowds in downtown Jacksonville that a luxury hotel would be built. The local firm of Marsh and Saxelbye served as architects. Other investors built the Hotel Roosevelt (then called the Carling Hotel) to compete with Kloeppel, and both hotels were constructed throughout 1926. On December 15, the George Washington was complete.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And from the link for Syracuse China dates:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.railroadcollectors.org/Pages/syracuse_china_dates.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.railroadcollectors.org/Pages/syracuse_china_dates.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.railroadcollectors.org/Pages/syracuse_china_dates.shtml</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If I&#039;m reading it correctly, the mark on the back of the plate, G-8, means it was manufactured in the 8th month of 1926, which makes this a plate ordered for the opening of the hotel?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
