This collection has two Wallace China "Rodeo" dishes. The first is a cereal bowl or chili bowl that is six inches in diameter, with the date stamp of 10-P which stands for December 1953. The second piece is a sandwich or salad plate that is six and 3/4 inches in diameter, with the date stamp of 9-P which stands for November 1953. As the makers logo also shows this is the real Wallace not a Tru-West reproduction. Each dish has the Till Gooden signature. And there are no chips, scratches or cracks.
The next item in this collection is a beer can opener, also known as a "church Key". It is four and 3/4' long and has the large hole cutter on one end and bottle opener on the other. It has rust on both sides. It was made in the U.S.A. by CANCO. The patent number is 1,996,550.
The last item is the metal bar tray. The tray is 13 1/8" in diameter and 1 1/2" deep. There are no scratches, dents or chips. It is in wonderful shape. The printing is clear and bright. And there is NO bar code making it original, not a reproduction.
When Storz ordered the special order of bowl and plate, it was a very limited production never to be repeated. I could not find the size of the order, but all the brands are different from those on regular production pieces.
Now that you have it, buy with confidence. I have also printed a history of Storz Brewery.
