1912-This is a Dresden China calendar plate for 1912. It was given away by Brown & Hawkin’s, a merchant and banking concern based in Seward. In 1912, the partners chartered the steamship SS Bertha and sent inventory, along with a gold scale and safe to supply the miners headed for the goldfields. It was sent up the Cook Inlet and to protect the ship from the high winds and tides, it was anchored in the mud flats. This area became known as Anchorage. The plate measures 81/2” and other than age crackling of the finish, it is in very nice condition. HKA#64604
