Found this commemorative plate at the thrift today. I am not a collector of Fenton but as I read so much on this lovely site I had to grab it. The back, which I couldn't get a good picture of says:
"The Fenton Art Glass Company commemorates with this handmade plate the earliest glass craftsman of New America...Jamestown - 1608"
It then has the Fenton name in an oval.
Underneath that: No. 1 in the annual series of collector's plates by Fenton 1970
I have no idea what I am going to do with this but had to show all my CW Fenton fans!
I have now found out that was the first year and first commemerative plate Fenton put out. If I can believe what some Ebayers claim.
