How do you identify old plates?

To identify old plates, flip them over and examine their maker's marks. You can research these markings using trusted online resources to find out who produced your plates. Some pieces may also feature production years, model or style numbers, patent numbers and other information that can be useful when making an identification. If your plates are unmarked or you encounter any problems with your research, consider consulting a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer.
