Up for bid is an extremely rare variation of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's popular "Centenary" china pattern. The B&O considered alternative colors to the standard blue, and requested samples from several manufacturers. This example is Shenango China Incaware as indicated by the backstamp. There is also a marking of "38-C-2", which possibly indicates a 1938 date code? The color is a rose hue , on a bone background (use the picture with the Coke can to compare).
