That's a very cool plate. Any idea of its age? Nice looking war nickel. Congratulations on all your interesting finds. Thanks for posting!

appears the Challenge Iceberg was a refrigerator made by the Challenge Corn Planter Co --- found an advertisement in google that says the 1890's --- looks like the old wooden iceboxes. Jim
