Decorative Plates - Wach Collection

Among the hundreds of items in the Shirley Wach treasures recently donated to our museum were several decorative plates:


The Heinz & Dulaigh General Merchandise Store produced this plate for their 1909 calendar. This was likely a store run by
30-year old John Heinz and 33-year old Dwight Dulaigh. However, Dulaigh was a dentist and listed himself as one in the
1910 census. His wife Frances was listed as a "sales woman". Do you suppose she was the Dulaigh in the business?


A nice plate here but we can't tell you much about it. Any idea who produced this? When? What occasion?


This plate comes with a mystery - what was the occasion and who sponsored this one?


There are several plates in this collection. We'll post more later..


This one from the Sutton Methodist Church is undated.
