Sears Coffee House Dinner Plates, 1967

Summary

Many Sears department stores during the mid-20th century featured in-store cafeterias. Customers could stop in for a quick cup of coffee and a bite to eat or sit down for a meal after a long day of shopping. Employees served food on durable, vitreous china plates, like these, emblazoned with the Sears Coffee House logo.
