UNION LEAGUE of Chicago Plate ~ HLCo 1988

Located at 65 West Jackson Boulevard in the heart of downtown Chicago's financial district is the UNION LEAGUE OF CHICAGO.

Information from its website states the club was established in 1879 to uphold the sacred obligations of citizenship, promote honesty and efficiency in government, and support cultural institutions and the beautification of the city, the Club has been a contributing partner in the growth and development of Chicago. As early as 1893, Chicago gained recognition as a world-class city when it hosted the World’s Columbian Exposition. Club members were instrumental in having Chicago named the site of the exposition by the United States Congress. Since that time Club members have played a role in establishing many of the city’s cultural organizations, including Orchestra Hall and the Field Museum. 

HOMER LAUGHLIN manufactured this 5 3/8 inch plate in 1988. The plate features the well known intertwined ULC logo in a deep green with matching bands around the edge. The plate is in excellent, almost unused, condition with just a few utensil marks here and there. It would make a great addition to any collection of restaurant ware or Chicago memorabilia. Thanks for looking and please see all 3 pictures.
