Title: Need help identifying value
Post by: jstallard on May 29, 2012, 02:47:38 PM

Plastic Serving Tray

Art on the front is a print from Ault & Wiborg Co.

Imprint on the back says "Made in Italy for Quality Imports Ph 214/638-7787"

Any help is appreciated.

From the phone number its a pretty modern tray !! Ault &Wilborg Co. New York were ink makers and made all the supplies needed to produce these prints. Inks, dryers, varnishes ect.  Bunch on Ebay, various prices,, none selling !! Saw the prints larger than yours $9.95 up !!  They would buy the trays in bulk through an import company and print them here !!

So basically just an advertisement piece...bummer on the possible value...but still pretty cool and decorative.  Guess I will pass this one off to the wife.

Thanks.
