We were contacted today by a collector who is interested in donating glass and metal lithography plates to a museum. Is there a museum out there for this specific type of thing?
According to the collector, there are approximately 40 glass lithographic plates with various advertising on them. The newspapers in between clear glass plates date to 1943. The Budweiser beer ones are the progressive plates. Others are of the Michelin man, Lucky Strike cigarettes, Camel cigarettes, possible celebrities touting cigarettes, Mail Pouch tobacco, Scissors, a football player, possibly a Currier and Ives, "Kookie" brand mascot, and others.
Thanks in advance for any responses or suggestions I can relay.
