    Antique Vintage French 1931 Cast Iron Award Plaque for Flemish Breed Heifers
    This authentic vintage French plaque was awarded in
    1931
    by the
    agricultural committee of Oise, just north of Paris, as the 3rd prize for heifers (young female that has not borne a calf) or cows of the
    Flemish cattle breed (Race Flamande) in a
    competition held in Compiègne, a commune in northern France.
    The plaque was a pine green that has faded over the decades; remnants of the green paint on the backside. Little to no wear to the raised letters. The French breeders would display their award plaques on the exterior of the barn for all to see.
    Today these plaques are lovely displayed on a wall in a grouping. Heavy, solid cast iron. Weighs 0.400 kg.
    Measures 7.5 inches by 6.5 inches (center), excluding loop at the top.
    Shipped within the USA only.
