R619B
Silver Stain found in Freeman's ebay Live Lot
Bill
Pearson was the lucky bidder and reported "that It is the
stain all over variety ( $7000 in Dolores' Companion ) I also
see Green Valley Auctions, April 2004 reported that one in lot
297 sold for $3,850. Mine is slightly better condition. I rate
it VG, I sc chip and 3 tipped and a tiny crack 3/8" between
2 scallops. The stain itself is perfect. Freeman's Lot 1490
for $770 included 9 plates: 619B SS, 640x2, 641x2, 667, 675,
677 and 628.
Congratulations
Bill... It just shows that when bidding on blind auctions, you
have to do your homework, as the lot described it as 9 cup plates
including a yellow plate with no photos.

Thank
you for helping a Hurricane Katrina Cup Plate Collector
Many of you responded with
generosity and kindness when reading the December Newsletter
and finding out about the loss suffered by a fellow cup plate
collector.
Frederika
Page, Dolores Bowler, Arch Doty and myself have sent the first
shipment of 450 cup plates to help John to have some kind of
a start when he returns back to Louisianna from his temporary
stay in Texas. He is presently back in Louisianna, but does
not have a permanent address as of yet.
The
next group of donated plates will be sent to Texas in February,
where friends are keeping them safe for John's new start in
life.
 The
LR56 The "Sun Purple" Controversy
We are going
to open Pandora's Box once again in the hopes of adding to our
knowledge. This is the perfect forum for the sharing of opinions
as they relate to cup plates. One of the main problems that
we face is the lack of documentation to prove or disprove cup
plate manufacture. The consensus of opinion still remains the
best tool available for todays collectors.
LR56 was
shown in American Glass Cup Plates in 1948 as clear has
been found since the 1950's in light purple. There are 5 known
light purple cup plates in the 56. The question of whether these
plates were manufactured in this light purple color or were
altered through other means is the topic of this discussion."
