Description
Two (2). Serial "1179". Seldom found in pairs. Low serial number. The McClary Stove Company (London Ontario) was commissioned to produce these distinctive (more legible) cobalt porcelain enamel plates. Vulnerability to stone-chips prompted their ephemeral one-year run (Sallmen, 2003). 12" x 6.5". Very minor porcelain loss to cobalt field, most notably surrounding grommets and near the base of "7" on one example. Est. $1500-2000. CODE-LISP. CODE-AUT
