Be sure to check with Judie Siddell of the Transferware Collectors Club; she
is just about to finish up a book for children on this...Not archaeological
samples but may help.

Subject: Alphabet Plates Inquiry
I am currently doing some research into alphabet or ABC plates -
white-bodied earthenwares produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries
and containing alphabets, usually molded or printed around the rim. We have
found examples so far from six Maryland collections and I am interested in
learning about other examples found in the U.S. I am particularly
interested in the context of the items-dating, type of site, occupants, type
of feature or layer in which the artifact was recovered.
Thank you in advance for sharing your findings.
