Ephemera - tacky or terriffic?
I recently recieved this plate as a gift. It came from a junk shop. It has no identifying marks.
Anyone ever seen one of these?
Does it look like any trailer you've ever seen?
Would you hang it on your wall?

Just a thought..
Janet
You may or may not wish to do this but, I once sold an "A/S moon plate" on EBAY for 40.$ 
As to the model >??
Not a clue..You could search this site for...
Mobile Home / Trailer Coach Museum Archives
Enjoy~!

So.... Navigator,
Does this mean you would or wouldn't hang it on your wall?

Janet,
I'm old enough to recall seeing similar plates hanging on walls of homes and mobile homes. So, based on my preconceived notions I wouldn't hang one on my wall. 
If you are so inclined you may save the plate for the next generation. Maybe it'll hold new meaning for them.

plate
That plate would look just fine with some Spam and Velveeta slices on it. Maybe garnish with a pork rind.

No, no, no that's Nash Metropolitan! I think AirstreamDreams sells a whole series of things with that design. Very cute.

I'm considering giving to a neighbor who has a delapidated SOB parked in his yard. He might love some spam and velveta as well...

Frozen ~
There's a whole set that goes with your plate...including napkins, placemats & tablecloths. Keep an eye out on ebay...or AirstreamDreams.com

Friend or Foe?
Janet: Is your gift giving, plate challenged friend named Heavy Kitsch perchance? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but those with glass eyes shouldn't throw plates.

I am sad to report that the giver of the questionable plate was/is from England - although the plate was purchased in the U.S. Perhaps british taste is not limited to bad food...
