I wish I got some sort of notification when these comments are posted =/ Anyways I will double check this for you today, I am not sure if the actual plate is numbered but the paperwork is and I will look at it closely for those names.
The back of this plate says; A Gentle Persuasion Plate number 3774B in the limited edition of "A Gentle Persuasion" by wildlife painter Yin-Rei-Micks. Third Issue in the " Signs Of Love" collection, made exclusively for River Shore, and issued under the sponsorship of The Wildlife Society of Washington DC Edition firing schedule strictly limited to one hundred days. Bradex Number 84-R69-2.3 Also it was with another plate that I have listed that is post marked for FEB. 83'. They are addressed to someone in Florida and somehow ended up in Ohio, would probably be interesting to find out the story behind them. =)
