Bouterware Plaques
 

The Bouterware Plaques were made by 'Corocraft Studios' in Brooklyn, New York by the Frank M Safford Company anywhere from the late 1930's to 1950's. The colouring is similar to 'Osborne Ivorex' where they use browns, and a green colouring at a later date. The plaques in their original packaging have the grass and trees painted green, while plaques without the packaging have a brown colouring. There were three different coloured box packaging, a green box, brown box, and blue box. The blue boxes were used for the Nursery Rhyme plaques

Bouterware plaques have a waxy feel similar to Ivorex plaques but they tend to be of a thicker material. On the box they list the plaques get yellowed with age, similar to Ivory.

There is almost no information available on the Bouterware plaques. If anybody has any information then we would be interested to here from you...
