David -- As I understand it, as soon as the war broke out in 1941 the government took all of the uranium that Red Wing had and they had to come up with a way of coloring their dinnerware. If this is true then the plate you checked may have been an early one because the Gypsey Trail line was popular well into the 40"s.
