Comments/description: Tray is a little understated for a factory scene relative to the standards of the day, which usually showed a sprawling building complex amidst the background of a bustling urban environment, billowing smoke from its multiple smokestacks, long trains chugging by laden with boxcars full of product for distant distribution, and a yard full of horse-drawn wagons loaded to bursting poised for local delivery. The most technologically advanced would be sure to picture airplanes and/or lightbulbs, while dozens of citizens and workers milled around outside. This tray truly captures the more laid-back atmosphere that California is famous for! All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

 

Condition

Excellent clean condition with a single notable blemish near the logo as the only larger mark. Not evident in the photos is a kink at the edge of the face at 10-o-clock. Other marks are all minor. Surface is a little dulled but colors are terrific.
