Robinson-Baker Pattern
Most so called "Soo Line Robinson-Baker" china is just old restaurant china falsely described as Soo Line railroad china. It can be a frustrating pattern, as it was apparently mostly unmarked - all the books describe it so. Fortunately, that is not entirely correct, Bauscher made Robinson-Baker china for the Soo Line that was marked! The unfortunate part is that it is extremely rare - so rare indeed, that none of the leading books on railroad china took notice of it. The fantastic news is, that we, as of the time of this writing, have a couple of pieces to offer the Soo Line china collector, that are unmistakably actual Soo Line china. If you want Soo Line Robinson-Baker china that can be seen to be the "real McCoy", this is a rare opportunity to add them to your collection. Few other collectors can boast of this pattern in marked china.
