Large antique lithographed tin tray, horse and buggy

Antiques : Trays

 

Dating to the early 1900's, this lovely lithographed tin tray is one I've not had before. Dogwood blossoms on the rim surround a central image of a stop on the road during horse and buggy days. A sandy road winds through lush forest, a large dead tree to one side. In the middle of the road, a doctor's buggy pulled by a white or gray horse and two men in conversation. I suppose it could be anywhere, but for some reason it evokes memories of the South to me, perhaps because that is where I grew up, and the woods remind me of home. In lovely condition for its age, with just minimal wear, it measures 13" in diameter, about an inch deep. Simply lovely.
