NOTE: Plate of Wm. McKinley designed by David Barker (9 1/2"D) with Canton Lattice edge.
NOTE: Sid Lethbridge 2022: "In January 1896 it was reported that Canton was introducing a line of jet ware (black amethyst) plates and dishes. Canton plates in jet appear in the 1897 Pitkin & Brooks wholesale catalogue so 1896 would seem reasonable for these plates."
NOTE: Brad Gougeon 2022 - China, glass and lamps, Aug. 5, 1896. “The Canton Glass Co., Marion, Ind., have put an open work edged plate on the market, the center of which is ornamented with a fine portrait of McKinley.”
