Description: UP FOR SALE FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION IS A BEAUTIFUL AND STRIKING VINTAGE MID CENTURY DECO SILVER PLATE GALLERY TRAY. IT IS SIGNED "CRESENT". WE HAVE HAD IT ON DISPLAY IN OUR LIVING ROOM WITH VARIOUS BRILLIANT GLASS DECANTERS AND A FEW MID CENTURY MODERN CHROME BARWARE ACCESSORIES. THE TRAY WEIGHT IS 2 POUNDS 6 OUNCES! THIS IS FAR FROM A FLIMSY TRAY. THE TRAY WITHOUT HANDLES MEASURES 16" LONG BY 7 1/2" WIDE. IT STANDS 2" TALL. OVERALL LENGTH WITH HANDLES IS 18 1/4". THIS TRAY IS A VERY WELL BUILT PIECE. THE FLOOR OF THE TRAY WHICH IS LIKELY THICK FORMICA WHICH SHINES LIKE NEW IN APPEARANCE. THE SILVERPLATE IS IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION AND DOES NO SHOW ANY LOSS OR DINGS. THE AREAS AROUND THE STANCHIONS COULD USE A LITTLE TARNISH REMOVAL IN THE CREVICES WITH A SILVER CLEANER AND A Q-TIP BUT IS VERY PRESENTABLE AS IS. I HAVE FOUND IN THE PAST AS THE TARNISH BUILDS UP OVER THE YEARS IT IS EASIEST TO CLEAN BY DISASSEMBLING (TAKE OUT THE 8 THREADED SCREWS ON THE BOTTOM AND REMOVE THE 4 THREADED LEGS - A 1/4" OPEN END WRENCH WORKS WELL ON THE LEGS - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN WHEN YOU RE-ASSEMBLE). SEE PICTURE OF BOTTOM. PLEASE REVIEW ALL PICTURES AS THEY ARE CONSIDERED PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. MY WIFE ADVISES WE PAID CLOSE TO $300 30-40 YEARS AGO IN ONE OF OUR MANY ANTIQUING TRIPS. RESEARCHING I FOUND ONE ACTUAL SALE OF A SIMILAR TRAY FROM CRESCENT WITH ONLY A 3 STANCHION GALLERY AS OPPOSED TO THIS EXAMPLE WHICH HAS 5 TOTAL ON EACH LONGSIDE. THE SALE PRICE WAS $295. I BELIEVE THIS PIECE HAS GREATER VALUE BUT I HAVE PRICED IT TO SELL. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF OUR CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN SEEM TO HAVE MUCH INTEREST IN THIS PIECE AS WE BEGIN TO PARE DOWN OUR COLLECTION. IN THE MONTHS AHEAD WE WILL BE LISTING MORE AND MORE OF OUR TREASURES AS I HAVE BEEN SELLING OFF MY MODEL TRAIN COLLECTION. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU BECOME A FOLLOWER AND FAVORITE US AS A SELLER SO YOU ARE NOTIFIED OF ALL NEW ITEMS. STILL HAVE A LOT OF MODEL TRAINS TO GO BUT WE ARE MIXING IN A FEW OF OUR ANTIQUES. PLEASE SEE MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK WITH OVER 4100+ TRANSACTIONS WHICH ARE MOSTLY AS A BUYER BUT OVER THE LAST YEAR OR TWO AS A SELLER AND PURCHASE WITH CONFIDENCE.
