21232d. (commemorative plate) c.1898. “Boon Island Light [house], York, Maine.”

21232d. (commemorative plate) c.1898. Striking large souvenir plate, featuring a detailed image of “Boon Island Light [house], York, Maine.” This unusual plate features a large, color image of the tall granite light tower, boathouse and keeper’s dwellings. The present lighthouse was constructed between 1852 and 1854, along with a new keeper’s dwelling. The stone tower is 133 feet high — the tallest lighthouse in New England. The plate is a lovely crème color, with gilt decoration around the flueted border. Not backmarked, dating this before 1900. This large collectible measures 7 5/8” in diameter and would enhance any display. Bright, clean, a beautiful piece. (VG+). $148 net.
