Stephanie, The most recent sale of a Hayes oyster plate that I am aware of was on eBay, July 10 for $1599. It was described as superb condition with no stacking wear. It can be viewed here: http://cgi.ebay.com/200491260321. I have 2 such Hayes plates and would be interested in offering on yours.

Can you help me please? I have two Hayes Presidental Oyster Plates and I’m wondering how much they are worth (I have a vague idea) and where I could possibly sell them. Thanks in advance!

Mr. Abbott and No Name:

It would be much better if you took your buying and selling offline so that it would be only between the both of you. The proper venue for buying items is in WorthPoint’s Marketplace.

Thank You.

Mr. Owen: I can appreciate wanting to have examples of this most unusual White House china created for the Administration of Rutherford B. Hayes in the 1880s. When it was unveiled, the public couldn’t get over the fantastic outdoors theme for this newest addition to the official White House china collection. The use of snowshoes for ice cream plates, for me, was the most creative.

I have yet to see a modern version of this design being reproduced for resale. The only examples are the ones sold to the public in the 1880s and those are the ones being offered online. As I said, these pieces were never official White House china, only commemoratives, despite what the sellers would like you to believe. Still, the final bids have ranged in the $1500 to $2500 range for each individual piece.

All I can offer is to wish you well and good luck bidding on these items when they are next up for auction.
