Mike, I don't know the origins, but that "S" should be a great help in trying to track it down. Great piece btw!



edited to add: after doing a little research there are not a lot of professional teams that have started with an "S" that used the Tiger as a mascot.



1915 Suffolk Tigers of the Virginia League

1965 Salamanca Tigers of the Mexican Central League

1966 Statesville Tigers of the Western Carolinas League



Judging by the looks of the plate it is older than the 1960s...you might be looking at a Suffolk Tigers plate? Does the plate have anything on the bottom of it?
