AI Appraisal Report

This is a commemorative plate featuring the Illini Union Building at the University of Illinois. These types of collectible plates, especially those featuring university landmarks, generally have a moderate market value. The value of these plates can vary based on condition, rarity, and the specific manufacturer. Based on similar sales of vintage University of Illinois commemorative plates, a fair market value would likely fall within the given range. The additional information that The Rowland Marcellus Co. manufactured the plate could enhance its value slightly for collectors who specialize in their work, but without seeing the backstamp, it is difficult to confirm and factor into the appraisal definitively.
