I had purchased this from a flea market and the gentleman said it was from the early 1900's.
8" high
10 1/2" wide
1" deep
Message "God give us this day our daily bread"
Can anyone tell me anything about it?
Does look to be a very nice EAPG bread plate and possibly from the late 1800s to early 1900s. It looks like the inscription was part of the mold rather than etched. Sorry I don't recognize the pattern or maker as there are thousands of patterns from that era and not all have been identified. You can do a google image search of 'EAPG bread plate' and see many similar plates with similar inscriptions.
Thank you!
Sorry, the inscription is in the mold. My terminology is bad.
Based on your information i started searching. I found an identical plate on Ebay for $110! That person said the same thing you did, that the plate was from 1850 to 1910.
I don't want to sell mine. I really like it and I feel it's a blessing to my home :-)
I only paid $3 for mine lol
congrats on finding another one just like yours. You did get a great deal! It's amazing how often treasures are found at yard sales and thrift shops.
Great job Tallcakes......mystery solved.....nice
