Eric, I too would like to see that episode of ARS, hope someone locates it.
On the same subject of Aksarben dinner plates, I have an old Burlington
employee magazine from the 60s that had a list of silver and china that the
Q commissary was wanting to sell. They were offering same to the employees
at very reasonable prices. The list showed 17 Aksarben plates for four
bucks apiece. So there are a few more plates out there than mentioned on
the show. I'll try to get a photo of one in the files. Archie Hayden
