Hancock Historical Museum

The image features an ornate decorative plate resting on a dark surface, which is embellished with an intricate floral pattern of pink, red, and yellow flowers at its center, exuding a vintage charm. The plate's border, tinged with a subtle pink hue, is highlighted by a repeated pattern of small, interconnected geometric designs around its gently scalloped edges. A central inscription reads: "COMPLIMENTS OF The Farmers & Merchants Bank Co., ARLINGTON, O. 1921," suggesting it might have been a commemorative or promotional item from that time period. Positioned beneath the plate, a detailed ruler with both metric and imperial measurements is visible, likely provided for scale or to authenticate the image.
