Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Sorry, but I can't give you a price range. There are a lot of factors that can go into the value of an antique. For example, is the piece an original or a reproduction? Is it genuinely old, or just made to seem that way? (Just because it stops at Lyndon Johnson doesn't mean that it wasn't made 30 years later.) What is the general condition of the piece? What material is the plate made from? What is the general availability of pieces like it? (Limited availability tends to increase the value.) Is there any demand for it?

Your best bet is to find an antiques appraiser, specifically one who has expertise in evaluating plates, and show it to them.
