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?
apres moi, le deluge

Milo Yiannopoulos "It has been obvious since 2016 that Trump carries an anointing of some kind. My American friends, are you so blind to reason, and deaf to Heaven? Can he do all this, and cannot get a crown? This man is your King. Coronate him, and watch every devil shriek, and every demon howl."

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?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

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

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

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.
