Warren, the Navy does artifacts ships stuff. Here is the site. Its the Naval History and Heritage Command. This is where I requested what they had of the USS Chicago and they sent me some pictures of what they cataloged. Told me also, could have more stuff as they have many warehouses of un-cat ...

Warren, thank you for asking so many questions to try and find out more about this plate and its pattern. The plate measures 9 inches across as I mentioned.

Thank you for the quick response. Looking forward to hearing more about this plate and the Mark. I also thought it looked like a dog.

I have this sterling silver plate 9 inches across and been trying to find out about this plate and cannot find this sterling mark. On the plate (front) is Wardroom Officers USS Chicago. I have served on the USS Chicago in 71-73 and this cruiser was the forth one. First one was 1885-1923, second was ...
