UP FOR AUCTION ARE A TOTAL OF NINE HOMER LAUGHLIN VIRGINIA ROSE PLATES. I MEASURED 3 OF THEM AT 9 1/4" AND 6 OF THEM AT 8 1/4". I MEASURED FROM FARTHEST EDGE TO FARTHEST EDGE AND HOPE THAT THIS WAS THE PROPER WAY TO DO SO. THEY ARE ALL IN FAIR SHAPE, BUT DO HAVE SOME WEAR. I NOTICED A CHIP IN ONE OF THE SMALLER PLATES AND 2 CHIPS IN ONE OF THE LARGER, AND THAT IS WHY I AM SARTING THEM AT A LOW BID. I AM SURE THAT THESE PLATES WERE USED, FOR PEOPLE BACK IN THE DAY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH AND USED WHAT THEY DID HAVE. ALL IN ALL I FELT THAT THEY WERE NICE PLATES FOR SOMEONE TO ADD TO A COLLECTION THAT THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE OR ARE STARTING.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING.
