VTG Hibbing, Minn. World's Largest Iron Mine Miniature Souvenir Plate Minnesota

Description

Super cute vintage miniature souvenir plate from Hibbing, Minnesota. The center plate decal reads, "World's Largest Iron Mine Hibbing, Minn." with an illustration of an iron mining excavation drill rig in action. Also a maroon border with gold painted rim. The backside has holes with the original string ready for hanging and the remnants of a black marker that had written "25".  This probably was something a child would have bought on a family vacation to the Iron Range and lovingly kept with other trinkets and mementos of travels to far off lands. It might have even hung in a playhouse or dollhouse. The idea that it is in such good shape after all these years is pretty incredible. (As a child I had a miniature cup and saucer from the Black Hills that I still have to this day...!)
As for the condition -- perfect with a bit of Iron Range travel vibe still attached. No chips, cracks, repairs, or crazing. Center decal is in great condition.
3-1/4 inches in diameter
So if you are from Hibbing, visited Hibbing, or wanted to visit Hibbing, this can be yours. And remember, if driving cross country with little people, ALWAYS stop at the roadside souvenir and gift shop so they too can create memories for their adult years.
From the estate of a man with Scandinavian heritage that traveled extensively throughout Europe, North America, the Pacific Islands, and Asia. He had a keen eye for great craftsmanship, artistry, and mid-century modern design aesthetic. He was the original owner.
