REDUCED Antique lithographed tin tray, beautiful young girl

Antiques : Trays

 

This is a lovely old tray, dating to the turn of the last century. Lithographed tin, it features an attractive young girl with a peaches and cream complexion. Dressed in white, with a soft bow at her neck, she wears a garland of flowers, and a head piece also decorated with flowers. This is a stock tray made by one of the American advertising firms, likely Beach or Meek, who both made oval trays in this size. The number 20 at the bottom indicates the stock number. The tray has a rolled edge, with the border done to look like shirred fabric. It's in wonderful condition for its age, with minimal wear as you can see. Two small holes at about 10 and 2, often done so that the tray could be hung. Measuring 16.5" by 13.5", it's a gem!
