Note:
I bought out a collection of both ceramic and ironstone as well as plastic antique and collectible vintage children's dishes and so over the next few weeks you will see them popping up in my listings.  Take advantage of combined shipping savings.
Note:
If I remember correctly, I have a Dick Tracy Mug that I bought at this auction also so keep an eye out for it.  When I come across it, I will try and remember to revise this note and let you know about it.
Note:
Although this plate is unmarked it is of the same mold as Homer Laughlin's Hacienda pattern and other named patterns.   It is for that reason and the fact that others listing this same piece have attributed it to the Homer Laughlin company that I do the same.
C
ondition:
This plate is quite rare, the last one sold in 2016 according to Worthpoint.  This plate had multiple old chips but thankfully they are only viewable from the back.  The decal decoration is worn and full of utensil marks which have removed some of the decal.   Be sure and check the photos carefully as they are an integral part of the description and do a better job of actually showing condition issues than what I can explain through the use of the written word.  Be sure to utilize the magnification tool and always feel free to ask questions.
Measurements:

Disclaimer:
Photographs with a ruler or the metal tape measures are there to show scale only and usually will not show exact
measurements
due to
the fact that the measurements on a wooden ruler start 1/16" into the wood, and
the ruler,
and also the item being different
lengths
away
from the camera lens than the ruler or tape measure,
even if it is only a fraction of an inch will also create a perspective issue.  Please always go by my stated measurements rather
than guessing at the exact sized based on the photos.
Note:
Because of the way computers and cell phones are set to interpret colors that show on their monitors, and because of people's perceptions of color descriptions,  the colors you see on your screen may not be exactly the colors you will get but might appear a bit darker or lighter, or a shade or two different.  I always do
my best to show colors as close to reality as I can get them, but keep that in mind when you make your orders as, although I will accept returns for any reason, I WILL NOT accept a small difference in color shades as a valid rea
son for a 'not as described' claim so that you can save on shipping.  Of course, if I say that something is black and it turns out to be red when you get it, then
obviously the fault is mine and the 'not as described' claim will be accepted
If you need to have a perfect match and can send a fabric swatch or paint chip, or something else that you have that shows the exact color that you need, I
will be happy to hold the item you are thinking of purchasing so that you can send me your swatch or whatever for me to use to check for that match.  I can photograph
the item next to the color sample that you send and you can make your final decision as to whether you want to purchase from that.
Shipping:
I purchase postage online when I package the item.  The tracking number shows when that postage was purchased and does not start when I actually take the item to the post office to be shipped.  Note, I show a 4 business day handling period and although I may get your item packaged and ready to ship on the first or second day, It may take all of those four days for me to get your item to the post office to actually ship it.  Please don't be concerned if you check your tracking number and find out that the item has not yet been shipped if it is within my four-day shipping window.   If you do need your item in a hurry for a birthday or special occasion, just let me know and I will be happy to do my best for you.
