Found in collections in Last Chance Mining Museum. (Compressor Building). These objects were acquired when city purchased Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co. properties in 1974 from AEL&P who had purchased the properties from Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co. in 1972.
There are actually 11 of these plates marked in the exhibit area, A through K, two more than indicated by the object catalog record. I didn't follow up on it. Field, Addison 08/31/2011.
