Shell Plates by Homer Laughlin LaurelHollowPark.net, an informative website created and maintained by Mark Gonzalez. Copyright © 2009-. Shell plates were made for Proctor & Gamble. Four versions of Shell plates were modeled from August 1938 until February 1939. Rhead mentioned the plates in his journal on February 10, 1939: model shell plate - actual aver all 10 ½" samples in all four colors. Green, turquoise, yellow and red. He was referring to model number 1203 which actually went into production, however, they are very hard to find. If your lucky enough to find a P&G Shell Plate, expect it to be unmarked.
