I reposted this with the only plate I have with the lead backing gone. It also has a field repair to replace the tongue you can see the very small brads holding it on. I just can't get the pewter one to match this one I have. I found them at different places. The pewter one does look like it mite of been the lining or backing of a plate. But it also looks like it could of been a plate itself Thanks for all the help so far gave me a starting place

Im sure there were a few different molds of this plate, being that they are obviously a little different . That being said it would make sense that different liquids could be used in these molds to make a different plate. Just a thought awesome piece

I think the one in pieces is from either militia or war of 1812/ Mexican war
