First Officer Plaque Appraisal

Starfleet First Officers Commemorative Plaque

This item is a framed commemorative plaque featuring 'Starfleet First Officers' from the Star Trek franchise. The plaque appears to be constructed from a dark, possibly black, polished material, likely wood or a synthetic panel, with a glossy finish. It is rectangular in shape and includes four distinct portrait-style photographs, each enclosed in what appears to be a clear, protective plastic or glass covering, suggesting they might be removable or protected inserts. Below each photograph, text identifies the actor and the character they portrayed. From left to right, the visible photographs and corresponding text include: 'Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock' (Star Trek: The Original Series), 'Jonathan Frakes as Cmdr. Riker' (Star Trek: The Next Generation), and 'Nana Visitor as Major Kira' (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). The fourth image on the right is partially obscured but the text below it appears to be 'Robert Beltran as Cmdr. Chakotay' (Star Trek: Voyager). The title 'STARFLEET FIRST OFFICERS' is prominently displayed in gold or light-colored lettering across the top of the plaque. The overall design suggests a fan-oriented collectible, likely mass-produced given the consistent presentation and inclusion of multiple prominent characters. The visible surface shows some minor dust or smudges and possibly light surface scratches consistent with display wear, but no significant damage is apparent. It does not appear to be an antique but rather a modern collectible, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, given the series represented.
