As many times as I have sold these two items above, I keep finding them in thrift stores and rebuying them. The Copper Penny was a small chain in the Los Angeles area that I used to eat at as a child. The Woody's Smorgasburger is on Sepulveda just below LAX and I believe it is still there> My friedn used to short order cook there back when we were all starving musicians in the late 70s-early 80s. Smelled good, never ate there.

The Drum Room. Nice pretty plate. Old girlfriend bought a stack and didn't give me one.

Illinois Central Railroad - Dresser Tray

1920s Louisane pattern. 8 3/4" x 6"

Some simple common nice pieces. I like the one on the left for maple syrup as you can rest it in the little bowl while it drips.

US Medical Department Sugar Bowl. Used in the cafeterias in the hospitals as well as in the doctor's offices.
1920s-1940s for this backstamp. Also made by Tepco China, Syracuse China, Sterling China, etc.

1920s-1949 3 1/8" tall. I have a few pieces on display on my Medical Department page.

Forum bowl. Found one of these in a junky antique store near Torrance, CA for about a buck. Very old piece. I know nothing about it.

Great colors. Worth about a buck. Very undervalued.

Another find! I think this went for about $100 on Ebay years ago> I did not own it.

Shenango China Nursery Rhyme china is a hot collectible. Generally runs around $50-$75 per piece.

Stickney's Hickory House. It would be more fun if it was Stinky's Hickory House.

I don't know and I really don't care to know the pattern name of this piece. I don't have much interest in these plainish pieces.
