Comments/description: Tough tray in very good condition. We see this one even less frequently than the predominantly yellow and white design. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Excellent condition considering the very fussy paints used by Universal that seem to discolor at just a hint of moisture. While there is little wear to the face of the tray, there is spidering, that has resulted in the darker marks visible within the deeper blue. These appear as slightly lighter within the lighter shade. Two faint dimples to the right of the graphic of the peninsula. Still displays very well.
