One of the Yankee slugger's mid-1960's business ventures was a restaurant chain called Mickey Mantle’s Country Cookin', which offered for sale an 8-piece china set etched with the restaurant's name and some very domesticated images of cooking utensils more suitable to the Martha Stewart brand (Louisville Sluggers would have been much better). The venture didn't last long, and today these plates are rare. Rarer still is this 9" pristine porcelain Country Cookin' plate on which the Mick has signed, his immaculate black sharpie signature grades a Perfect 10/10. The equally impressive plate, manufactured by Shenango, has no chips or cracks or stains of any kind, NRMT.
