FABULOUS bright pink 7 1/8" plate from the DESERT INN CASINO. Jac Lessman (NYC) designed the DI mid-century logo and Shenango China produced the plate in 1954 (Q-12). WILBUR CLARK'S DESERT INN opened in 1950 . . . 1954 plate came from the WILBUR CLARK era. Cleveland mobster Moe Dalitz financed Wilbur Clark when he ran out of money during the casino construction. Moe was a silent partner and Wilbur was the public frontman . . . resort/casino was eventually renamed DESERT INN and called DI. Plate is decorated with a stylized green cactus, two blue stars and DI in red stripes. Vintage plate has no chips or cracks, but does have utensil marks (used, but not abused) . . . very good condition . . . a great piece of DESERT INN memorabilia.
