Comments/description: Great horse racing imagery. Loaded with vivid colors and an illustrative derby scene and Art Nouveau graphic elements. Tray is unusually shiny given the blemishes found on its surface so we believe it has been clear coated; portions of which are yellowing on the left half of the tray, most notably on the inner rim. Display is still excellent and this design is always an attention-getter. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
