Palmer Cox Brownies Silver Plate Child's

Updated August 6, 2026

A child's silverplate onder plate or bowl that is shiny, intricate, and funny with a design of little brownies playing around the cavetto. The heavy metal has been silver plated and etched with a design of brownies playing with a hoop, running from a bear, and a boat full of brownies being pulled by more brownies. There is a blank florid cartouche for a name to be engraved. The well is undecorated and would have been a place to put a ceramic bowl. The dish rests flat on a surface. An etched mark on the base reads FORBES SILVER Co. QUADRUPLE around a circle with an eagle head. Above this mark are the words ROYAL BABY PLATE PAT. FEB. 7TH 1906. Forbes was a secondary trademark of the Meriden Britannia Company. MEASUREMENTS 8 ½ in (21.6 cm) diameter x ¾" (1.9 cm) deep. Weighs 12.8 oz. CONDITION There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. There is a dent with two narrow marks along the inner rim and a smaller one along the outer rim. There are two small dents in the central well. There is slight wear to the inner well. There are a few small silver losses; however, the dish still has most of its silver and has polished up nicely. A great Cox Brownie dish to add to your collection. It's a fun piece and will make you laugh. Period: 1900 - 1909 Origin: United States Materials: Silverplate Dimensions: 8.5"W × 8.5"D × 0.75"H
