Title: Free collector's plate-- shipping not included
Post by: BattleHymn on January 20, 2013, 05:53:23 PM

Own a piece of history out of McWha Silk-Screen and Decal Corp, Hot Springs, AR! 

-Note the gold-plated edge! 

-Almost guaranteed never to have been used as a bedpan! 

-Embarrass your relatives! 

-A must-have for above-toilet bathroom decor!   

Modeled here by a camera-shy Mrs. Battlehymn, who promised me she would scrub her hands with bleach after touching the plate:

Good one.

Is it for real?

Yeah, it's for real.  And I really want to get rid of it, too.  My sister got this thing for me as a joke a few years back.

I hung onto it in hopes of someday finally convincing Mrs. Battlehymn to let me mount it to the inside of the toilet lid. 

I've given up though, as she's not budging, and I'm not putting it back into circulation in the chances that someone who approved of these two nimrods acquires it.

It's 8 1/2" diameter by 7/8" total height.

How about a donation to CC in trade?  Anybody?   :-)

Does it attract flies?

I guess that depends on where you put it.   :-)

Hand toss,yeah, but I don't know if it would survive a trap.   :popcorn:

I dunno, I'm at a loss.   :confused:  Would you even let your dog eat off of it?

Target backing for a rifle (that's 'riffle' for you, Nads) target.

You could toss it up in the air and watch the bats fly into it...then again...no, I guess that would be bat cruelty.

Sad how many people have spent 40+ bucks for theses collectors plates.   Then the stuff from the Franklin Mint that one cannot give away.  A scam is the ones that sell Special stamps some with a real diamond on them, worth less.  

Then the so called collectable  figurines,   some cost $300.00 or more but the buyer does not know that the seller has on the market 2,000 0f them, perhaps more.

I listened on a talk radio to a woman bitching how she had spent a crap load of money on some Franklin Mint chess board with the figureins of the Civil War shoulders as the pieces.  
She could not sell or give it away and as she said for the money she and husband could have gone on vacation.
