More Machine Plates

So the two or three of you who seem as interested in these as I am will rejoice. Today two more fine examples of very simple functional design. I can only guess but I think the Machinery Sales Co. must make or made some sort of sheet metal gear-do-hickey. 1958 must have been a great year for the company this plate is brass, embossed, and painted.
with a light blue enamel.



Though not as spectacular the Smith-Courtney Co. plate should not be ignored.

Is that second plate in any way related to Courtney Thorne Smith?
