An antique 1830's Pewter Plate marked Schafe- showing J B H initials on the rim of the plate. It has a 9" diameter.  This pewter plate does have some dents and scratches due to its age. In owning something as personal as a plate from the 1830's whoever owns it will always wonder about who were the original owners, and were the dents caused by everyday wear or something else. You will in a sense have history in your own hands.
