Deer Reynolds aluminum tray

Collectibles : Metalware : Aluminum : Tray : Reynolds : Deer

 

This beautiful metal tray is etched in black with a mule deer buck and doe. They are standing among the fur trees and mountains. My husband tells me in Montana the buck would be a 5x5 point, Wisconsin a 10 point and elsewhere a 5. The edges of this tray are crimped every inch or so. The tray is silver in color. The bottom reads Mule Deer in cursive and is signed JR Dob. It has a trademark on it of RMC with a c in a circle amid the art work. I have sold another of these trays in the past and that one was marked Stylemaster C.R. Pat. Reynolds Mtg. Co. so because of the same trademark I believe although it is not marked it is by the same company. The back of the tray has a 3/4 inch rectangle in the center where there was a label at one time. It is slightly discolored in this spot but is not detrimental to the look of the tray. This tray has been used and does have scratches on the back and less on the front. Most of scratches on the front are very fine. There are two that are 1 inch long. Most are in the design and not very visible. The artwork is very realistic and would display very well.
