Presented in this lot are two (2) Vintage Union Pacific Railway Syracuse China Company Circus-theme plates. made in the 1950's by Syracuse China Company for use in the dining car by children traveling with their parents on a Union Pacific train. Syracuse China Corporation, located in Syracuse, New York, was a manufacturer of fine china. Founded in 1871 as Onondaga Pottery Company (O.P. Co.) in the town of Geddes, New York, the company initially produced earthenware. In the late 19th century, O.P. Co. began producing fine china, for which it found a strong market particularly in hotels, diners/restaurants, and railroad dining cars. This plate is the perfect gift for collectors of railroad or circus clown memorabilia. These two plates are in very nice condition, no obvious marring noted, plates measure 8.25" diameter each approximately.
