Another Big Goodwill Find - 120 Year Old French China Plates

Out west during the gold rush, inflation was incredible AND they were still buying European delicacies. I routinely find champagne bottles shipped across the world to be packed in by mules to incredibly remote places. GIVE me that steak dinner on gold plated dinnerware. Also the silverware!! In a few days we work again! Yee Haw!
