jjaazzy Posted July 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Going through house found some Inaugural collector plates from 1996 Veendam, do you think there is a market for these old plates? Ebay has a pretty good list of them but no indication on if there is a market and they are selling, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much they might be worth probably depends upon the scarcity of the items. Some people do sell such items on Ebay, but there are professional maritime memorabilia dealers who might be more interested in them than those who shop on Ebay. Do they sell well? No idea. If you would like, I can point you in direction of one dealer with whom I have used and is very reputable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norboy76 Posted November 3, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I have some nice ones, but not for sale as they're part of my personal collection. Some are souvenir, but I do have a couple of actual dining room dinner plates that were used on board ships in the past. I have one really nice HAL plate showing the fleet, but the plate is interesting as every ship on it was sold, so not one HAL ship on this plate is with the company anymore. I'll include pictures of my fave plates in this post, including a nice vintage Delta Queen plate from between 1948 - 1973, a 1960's Dinner Plate from the NS Savannah, A metal souvenir plate from Sitmar Fairsea (it's heavy), and a nice 1991 World Cruise on the QE2. The HAL Plate Fleet: MS Rotterdam: 1997 - sold in 2020 MS Veendam: 1995 - sold in 2020 MS Ryndam: 1994 - sold in 2015 MS Maasdam: 1993 - sold in 2020 MS Statendam: 1992 - sold in 2015 MS Westerdam: 1989 - sold in 2002 *Laid up, expected to be scrapped MS Noordam: 1984 - sold in 2004 *Sold for scrap 2020 MS Nieuw Amsterdam: 1983 - sold in 2000 *Scrapped in 2018 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email address for the company is info@nautiques.net. There are other maritime memorabilia dealers as well, but this company is the only one with which I have dealt.
