The Plate of Tomorrow of Yesterday

\Today's Antique Store Find: a beautiful commemorative plate from the 1939 World's Fair! The World of Tomorrow! Peak Art Deco! 

Friends with long memories may recall that I posted about a nearly identical plate I found several years ago. That was before the fire. I never really expected to see another again, until Karen and I were shopping today and I emitted a strangled "AAAAHH!" while pointing speechlessly into a cabinet. Karen rushed over to make sure I was fine. I was better than fine.

By the way, I am not oblivious or indifferent to the current political drama. Sometimes that's when light posts about plates are needed the most.
