Barney—that looks like an evolution of the Diamond octagon Plate 25A in 1918 WCOW, but new lugs. It was $355 in 1918. Wire lugs. No movement info on it, but... AA1 Diamonds all over, Platinum top, and it says 16k gold back. Anyone heard of 16k gold, or is that a typo (18k)?

So maybe these lugs were intro’d in 1919.
