Platt and Company was headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, and packed oysters, fruit, and vegetables in cans for distribution throughout the country. This show card was produced by A. P. Whitford & Co in Chicago and shows a restaurant patron enjoying giant raw oysters with Platt & Co’s name in multiple places. This large cardboard show card features excellent colors and cutting-edge graphics from the late 1800s, and it is in fantastic shape for its age. Some minor wrinkling can be seen on the outer corners, with a small fold on the right side around halfway. Some color loss can be seen on the left and middle sides. The back reads “Platt & Co’s Baltimore Oysters, with a train stamp sticker below. 20648-QIPP
