<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 215777, member: 44"]With your grandmother 87, she was born in 1930. Her mother, your great grandmother, was born around 20 to 30 years earlier like 1890-1910. That was during the Gibson Girl era (c1890 - c1910). The woman on this plate is a typical Gibson Girl image. During that era the world couldn't resist putting an image of a Gibson Girl on anything like calendars, silver, china, etc.. A multitude of Gibson Girl plates were issued/made during that era. Like someone has mentioned many were freebies with advertisements. Those for advertisement/promotional purposes would have the ad on the back of the plates. This one doesn't have an advertisement on the back. This was used as strictly an inducement/come on to buy the flour. It wasn't that long ago that dishwashing powder like Dove had glassware in the boxes. I still have a couple of glasses from dishwashing powder from the early 1960s. Without any markings on the back, it will be nearly impossible to ID maker</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are Gibson Girl plates on eBay, some with ads on the back:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=gibson+girl+giveaway+plate&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.A0.H0.TRS1&_nkw=gibson+girl++plate&_sacat=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=gibson+girl+giveaway+plate&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.A0.H0.TRS1&_nkw=gibson+girl++plate&_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=gibson+girl+giveaway+plate&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.A0.H0.TRS1&_nkw=gibson+girl++plate&_sacat=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Girl" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Girl" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Girl</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, welcome to the forums.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
