Okay, this probably 50's or 60's judging from the style of the mobile home, but I love it. We live in a manufactured home (the fancypants name for a mobile home - but mine has no wheels) and the story behind this plate is better than the plate!
I was watching 1000 Ways to Die on teevee (it's on Spike, in case you are into that sort of show) and they ran an episode of a fellow who was cleaning the toilet in a used RV (aka a truly mobile home). He used chlorine and when it mixed with the foul ancient sewage in the rv's tank, well, science ensued and he created a deadly chlorine gas and....died.
But I digress....in his adorable little death trap he had a plate much like this one. I thought it was a prop, but doubled over laughing yelling to the hubby I MUST HAVE ONE!! In less than a couple minutes on the fabulousness that is the internet, this silly thing was on it's way to my house and now hangs in a place of honor in the kitchen, right on the dreadful wallpaper we haven't re-done.
I don't love living in a mobile home, but it's only a mile from the ocean as the crow files, so I don't complain. and now my life is complete with my funny little plate.
and this is how collections begin....
