Description: I was sitting here looking at this old silverware tray, wondering why it looked sort of familiar, even though I have never seen one like it. Then it occurred to me that it is exactly the same kind of accessory you'd see in one of those full page color ads for food or recipes in a 1930s Good Housekeeping magazine or one like it. Rigid 10" x 7 1/2" marbled red plastic silverware tray, 1 3/4" deep, divided into 3 sections, each labeled in embossed Art Deco style letters. Handy, yes, but also I think representing a very short period of time. Trays like this were gone before I came along in the 40s. Late 40s. Unsigned. Excellent condition. The inside shows very little wear, maybe just a little dulling. Otherwise, it's fine, and not common.*Feel free to ignore any Item Specific that seems especially silly, irrelevant, inappropriate, or redundant. eBay frequently adds things without consulting the seller, and which I don’t always catch. Expecting help from eBay Categories? Good luck. I always ship the business day after I receive payment, and pack multiple purchases together to save on shipping. Buyer pays actual USPS postage; there is no handling fee, and I pay for all packing materials. By clicking on “Shipping and Payments,” you can check the postage before you bid. Printed material containing advertising – even old, obsolete advertising – cannot be sent Media Mail. *I don’t know why eBay says I don’t accept returns; I have tried to change that on the listing: an item may be returned if it is substantially different from how I have described it. I will pay return postage. USPS has changed the names of their traditional service. There are only 2 things we need to know: 1) Rates went up again in January and 2) First Class and Retail Ground (now called Ground Advantage) now include insurance up to $100.00. Like Priority, Ground Advantage postage varies with distance. I ship from Arizona. Because of the new rates, and because it now includes insurance, I am going to use Ground Advantage for everything. Sometimes it’s a little slower, but the bottom line is it’s cheaper, sometimes considerably. I will contact the winner when I ship the item, to let you know it’s on the way. Thank you for looking, and for wading through the fine print.
