: : I have a turkey platter exactly like the one you describe. I'm not a dealer but I inherited one. I have done quite a bit of research on it over the years, but have only found reference to it in the book that was recommended to you and my sister saw the identical platter while going through the Smithsonian. I was curious how many of these were in circulation also. The patent number on the back of mine is 11936. If there is anything you can share?
doing research on it for years but have only found the one you describe and I am currently working on an appraisal for a well known historical institution. There is a Haviland Turkey platter that was given by President Hayes as a gift. Is there a way to find out how many of these were produced for the White House or how many were produced at all?
: : Thanks for any assistance
