|
 |
 |
Lot 2139 - LEE/ROSE NO. 194 , light green, octagonal with seven even scallops between corners, egg in each corner scallop. Common. Probably Midwestern. 3" d. Average condition with a top-rim spall and the loss of several scallops, all corners intact. Estimate: $50 - $75.
Note: This is the first example of this plate that we have sold which would seem to indicate that it is much rarer than indicated in AGCP.
|
 |
 |
Lot 2140 - LEE/ROSE NO. 197-C , violet blue, 44 even scallops. Rare. Midwestern, probably Pittsburgh. 3 1/4" d. Proof except for two minute top-rim flakes. Estimate: $400 - $600.

Lot 2141 - LEE/ROSE NO. 200 , colorless, 96 sawtooth scallops, tiny dot in center of cavetto. Very rare (see note). Midwestern. 3 1/8" d. About average for this plate, several rim chips, each causing the loss of several scallops, along with some other scallop losses and tipping. Estimate: $50 - $75.
Provenance: Collector's Sales & Service, 10/14/97, lot #417, $77.
Note: This is the first example of this plate that we have sold. It was on Elsholz's want list but he never acquired an example. Mrs. Powell recorded only this single example offered for sale. These factors would seem to indicate that it is much rarer than stated in AGCP.

Elsholz, lot #1067.

Note: Except for the Elsholz example, this plate is in the best condition of all specimens located.
I strongly suspect that AGCP is not correct in recording Lee/Rose No. 210 with 55 scallops. Bilane's variant (this plate) is most likely the actual Lee/Rose No. 210.
