Girl Scout Plates; Decorative & Utilitarian

Girl Scouts have always been helping out in the kitchen!  

​

Here's the home page for general use plates, decorative plates and silver/pewter plates, trays.

Early ceramic-type plates were not offered through the catalogs. These items were likely sold to councils directly from the producers.

​

Specialty plates such as cookie, Roundups, etc. are elsewhere.

According to Restaurant Ware Collectors Network, this plate dates from 1930's to early 1940's.
