A Re-Found Find!

[romeo-1]

I found this years ago and threw it into the scrap pile in the barn thinking it was just scrap junk. Tonight I was looking for something in "the pile" and just happened to glance at this under the right light at the right angle and saw some regularity. Took a couple pics with the light at a certain angle and saw Coca Cola mirrored. Hoping to find a decent example of an undamaged plate.

See it?

Wow you might just have something there...
get a crayon... black is best... sheet of paper...
lay paper over and lightly do a "rubbing"
take wrapper off crayon... and lay on its side...
Tis hard to hold but works better ... break into half.

Looks like a coca cola printing plate.
