Manufacturer: Scammell China
User: Henry's, Charleston, South Carolina
Name of pattern: Patent Des. 62,090
Date of platter: Circa 1932-1954
Notes: In 1932, Henry Hasselmeyer opened his Henry's on the Market restaurant at 54 Market Street in Charleston. Henry's specialized in local seafood. After Hasselmeyer died in the mid-1970s, his daughter inherited the business and continued to operate it until 1985.
At some point, she sold it to Leo Chiagkouris. In 1990, the third floor of the section on the corner was removed and the entire restaurant was remodeled. Advertised as Charleston's oldest continuously operating restaurant, it remains open as of 2025.
Scammell produced Trenton China crested Henry's in black script lettering, with Charleston S.C. below. This crest is flanked by the black transfer border that Charles A. May created in 1922 and patented in 1923 (Des. 62,090). A 1957 postcard shows a red floral border china then in use. By 2025, plain white china was in use.
