Set of 6 Plummer porcelain Third Panel Sheriff’s Jury Bicentennial dinner plates. Each plate features a unique historic American event to center. Each plate trademarked to underside and dated 1976. Measure approx. 10.75 inches diameter each. The Sheriff's jury was primarily an exclusive social club for rich Manhattanites. It had a largely nominal role in the judicial system, and members were exempted from service on ordinary grand, petit, and special juries. For the most part, it served primarily as a status symbol, and the member of the panel threw controversial yearly banquets.
