Appraisal Report
This is a souvenir plate from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition held in Seattle in 1909. Souvenir plates from expositions from this period are generally collectible, and the value is largely determined by condition and rarity. This plate appears to be in good condition and is likely a relatively common souvenir item. The additional information regarding The Rowland Marcellus Co. suggests this company may have been the manufacturer or retailer of the plate, which could slightly add to its historical context but not significantly to the monetary value unless they are a highly sought-after ceramic producer from that era. Based on similar items that have sold, an estimated value can be determined.
