It is hard to find anything antique from old SPEARFISH, SOUTH DAKOTA.  Note that the backside has a 'Made in Germany' mark on it, a mark that authenticates this piece as an older piece of souvenir china item.  It also mentions a local business, "Spearfish Furniture Co." who had these plates made to advertise the business. Old souvenir china items like this are very collectible as 1) they have the place that they are from printed on them, 2) have colorful scenes, pictures, designs, logos on them, 3) are easy to authenticate when they have the makers mark stamped on back.   The detail on the picture of the falls is quite detailed, when you look closely at water falls you see a man and woman at the bottom of the falls fishing.  Then across the river on the other side are several other people milling around.  All of these these things together make for a great old relic from Spearfish, South Dakota, check it out!
