These timeless Golden Wheat dishes, embellished with real 22K gold, originated as premiums in boxes of Duz detergent during the 1950's. Each month brought a different packaged dish carefully inserted in a box of laundry detergent. Not sure how they fit the Dinner plate or the Platters in the box but that is what they did... Folks stockpiled closets full of detergent in order to collect the entire set of these sturdy dishes. Imagine a manufacturer giving away something as beautiful and practical as these now very collectible dishes in ANY product today? In the era of down-sizing quantity for the same amount of money - finding a bonus dish in a box of anything would cause serious medical emergencies around the neighborhood on a regular basis... Also, although these were free for the cost of the soap, people collected, displayed these and used them as their best china - reserved for holidays and special occasions. Times were different back then... People say they collect these classic dishes because of the fond memories of their Mother, Grandmother, or Aunt opening a box and finding the dish of the month while doing the laundry or while they were helping set the table with them for special occasions. Or even how they grew up with these family heirlooms and listened to their Mom tell them the story over and over of her Mother/Grandmother doing just that. But isn't that why we collect anything? It's not the objects themselves - but the feelings, memories and emotions that happen with these cherished objects. The almost forgotten connections... They come magically back as you hold these beautiful dishes, when you touch them, feel them. That's the value, that is what is so special. Picture above of Duz Detergent box is NOT included. 🍍 NOT INCLUDED… 😃 ABOUT THE PLATES: My grandmother, God bless her soul, collected these over many years in the 50’s by continually buying Duz detergent. It is time to let them go to someone who will appreciate them as we have appreciated their sentimental value over the years. This is the saucer. Please see pictures above. The price above is for one plate only. We have a total of 11 if you’d like more than one. SOME OF THESE SAUCERS DO NOT HAVE THE GOLD STAMP TO THE BACK, WHICH WAS COMMON FOR THESE SET. YOUR PLATE MAY NOT HAVE IT. CONDITION: Plates are in amazing condition with no major issues. There may be some normal imperfections during their original production (SEE PICS FOR BETTER DETAILS). It is a GORGEOUS piece of history! SHIPPING: $3.99 to US ADDRESSES ONLY PER PLATE. Each additional plate is $1.00. INTERNATIONAL $ based on location. WE SHIP FIRST CLASS MAIL & PACK VERY WELL.
