McKEE & BROTHERS No. ...2 PLATE (OMN) by McKee & Brothers (Pittsburgh-PA/Jeannette-PA, Company Operated: 1853-1899), 1899 Introduced
NOTE: Sid Lethbridge 2023: This plate is 4-1/2" diameter. This appears in 1899 illustrated advertisements for opal (milk glass) before the formation of the National Glass Co. late that year.
NOTE: Brad Gougeon 2023:if...[this illustration is correct] I've just found a way to differentiate the McKee plate with the Canton plate of this size. The McKee plate has 44 rectangular openings around the center. The Canton 4.5" plate has 32 slightly larger openings.
