"The Northern" Hand-painted Greenwood China, Trenton NJ Ironstone PLate gift for businessperson )The card was issued inAs a lover of found language, I love this old plate just for the phrase "The Northern," which to me invites thoughts of the North Star, traveling due North guided by the night sky maybe toward the Canadian border to safety!
