Found 3 of these plates at an estate sale for $10. It was the last day of the sale and it was an hour or 2 from closing when they found them tucked behind a refrigerator. They didn't have the time or desire to do the research and offered them to me. I know that the plates pre-date 1920 based on the markings and that Bauscher Weiden is a company out of Germany. I also know that Bauscher made items for the Third Reich during WWII. Everyone I spoke with says they appear to be presidential in design, but no one has ever seen them before. Any help on value or history of these plates would be appreciated. plate2.jpgplate1.jpg
 

'Not sure about value but the imagery definitely looks American. 'Could be a German-made pre-war dinner service made for an American client. Maybe something navy related, because of the knotted rope, but I'm not sure...
