I have some 40+ year old Shenango custard cups. They are sort of keepsakes, long story. I picked them out as a little boy with my grandmother at a restaurant supply store in Tucson. There used to be a dozen of them and they're now down to 4 and one is cracked. I'd love to replace them, but can't find a pattern name. Replacements Ltd. is useless as they have a million Shenango patterns listed and I can't find one even similar. They are alike in every way to the plate listed in this auction, except the Astor Hotel logo is of course not present. Same gold rim and maroon band, white bottom. From what I can see of the bottom of the plate, the logo is the same. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

OK pixia, that's the pattern all right, THANK YOU! Now give up please how you were able to find it so fast, or is that a trade secret?
Of course, they don't have it in stock, but at least I was able to sign up for an email if they get any.

You might also want to peruse the restaurantware link. Someone may know the name of the pattern over there and you might get lucky and find some for sale there. http://www.restaurantwarecollectors.com/directory/
