Description

VTG Hatton Farmers Elevator Co. Cake Plate Fruit Motif Hatton, ND 11-1/2" Dia.
Northwest of Mayville & Hillsboro, southeast of Larimore, and east of Reynolds in Traill County is the town of almost 800 people and birthplace of 20th century Arctic explorer and pilot Carl Ben Eielson -- Hatton, North Dakota.
This vintage cake plate is probably from the 1930's/1940's (judging from the color and motif) was a giveaway from the Hatton Farmers Elevator Co. -- when grain elevators were the economic centerpieces of small towns in the Red River Valley.
Measuring approx. 11-1/2" in diameter (without the small self handles), this is perfect as a cake plate, cookies, or other sweet treats. Also great as a backdrop on your rustic farm vignette above your cupboards or inside your hutch. Great gift or keepsake if you collect ND items or are actually from Hatton.  Cheerful 1930's/1940's red, blue, and yellow decal with red rim on creamy white body.
As my mother hails from this part of the country, premiums like this were held in high esteem by the bonanza farmer's wife as it showed they were successful farmers and some of the best customers of the elevator.
Since this is well over 75+ years, there are a few small flaws and on the underside a small chip.  We should all look that good at that age. And remember, this has stood the test of time and many baby showers, ladies church luncheons, and freshly bakes chocolate chip cookies for the farm hands on their afternoon break from working in the fields. Sold as is. See photos.
