Paul, pages 133 and 412 plus background reading from the whole book.

The grill plate is in good condition with no chips, cracks, or dings. There is some fading of the design and a few knife scratches, but the plate finish is still shiny. The back side shows one spot of stain on one of the 3 pin marks from the firing kiln. For a plate that is 60 to 80 years old, it's still quite usable.
