notes: label: Description
content: This Howard Johnson ice cream platter is decorated with a border featuring images of colonial life in Boston. The Howard Johnson's Ice Cream sign is also interspersed throughout the border. On the inner portion of the plate there is a second border showing the cardinal directions using “W”, “S”, and “E”.
