I took the $1.95 gamble at the salvation army today. The plate is as heavy as a rock. It has flowers on it with a nickel or silver coating thats comming off. I can bend the side pretty easy. Its almost black in color where the plating came off. For some reason I cannot dowload pics on here anymore or I'd post a pic. The loader keeps saying my pics are too big and its the same way I always do it. The "TK" is inside of a diamond and it says made in japan. Googled it for 2 hours and came up blank. I picked up an old oval pewter vanity plate from the 1750's from the same place a couple months ago that was the same shape and size and figured gamble. Can anyone tell me if its pewter? If not my sister's all over it.
