It looks like one of those alloy plates...Armetal is one and there are others. They are alloys of aluminum copper, nickle and who knows what else. Yours was obviously made by HM company...but I don't know what that stands for. I suspect it was some sort of an annual Christmas edition thing and this was from 1975. Companies did this for orginazations etc as a fundraiser. My little town of 15,000 had one commissioned with an image of the court house years ago....sold out....and now they are bringing well more than the $20 they cost originally....at least in this town! Any clues knowing where your grandparents lived in 75? Linda C

I think the auctioneer was doing some fast talking.... I'd guess more like 1920's to mid 30's. Sort of that period of elegant Depression glass. Purpled glass is not to be desired....the glass has been ruined. The ledges of the north, south and east windows in my dining room and living room are covered with glass child's mugs, old punch cups and cup plates and honey dishes. In the south windows I am careful to put either the few flint cups and some repros that were given to me by people who don't recognize a repro. I have a couple of old cups that are bginning to purple because I forgot about sun on glass of that era. The cup[ plates and honey dishes are fine....they are all flint glass.
