Sixth Plate

“COOLEY SPRINGFIELD” . . . Was stamped across the bottom of the double elliptical brass mat that contains this adorable child seated in the operator’s very distinctive chair. Otis did an excellent job reproducing the dark skinned kid’s flesh tones and keep those voluminous bloomers crispy white. The tonality seen in the taped sixth plate is awesome. Viewing the cute kid at slight angles creates a holographic gem. Heavy tarnish especially across the top of the likeness has made some strange impressions. Most of the white specks are difficult to see as the precocious girl is admired. No hinge binds the nice leather case together. The theme is a Maiden Scattering Roses and the brightly embossed purple/red pad is crisp.
