The tin plates -- Actually I've not seen (in the OLD cowboy movies) them use
this type of ware. It was usually plain tin cups and plates. Perhaps they
were always depicting time when there was no granny ware.

I just saw 3:10 to Yuma -- can't recall now what dinner ware they used, if
any.

Funny thing in U.S. movies, meals (people actually eating) are not really
represented even though it is a large portion time-wise in our lives.
However, I would say that "maybe" time-wise sex-scenes might be at its peak.
Knawing at others mouths and growling is at an all-time high! ;-))
