VINTAGE ARTHUR ARMOUR HANDWROUGHT ALUMINUM TRAY

By mlk082110, 26 August, 2012
Description

This vintage, hand wrought tray measures 12' X 12" wide. 13 1/2" corner to corner. It is stamped on the bottom...ARTHUR ARMOR...

There are some scratches from normal use...quite a few scratches on the underside. This item dates back to a time I cannot establish. "VERY OLD". Was found in my Grandfathers' estate. Been packed away for at least 50 years that I know of, but in very good condition, so maybe that gives an idea of age. Lots of fine detail with the eyes. Very nice work.

Still waiting on some information on this item. I know that it is quite old, but want an opinion on it too.

Arthur lived from 1908-1998, I would guess this was done sometime in the fifties or sixties. Prices for similar works at auction are modest, generally under $25 per tray. Some rare occurances had people bidding them up to over $50-75.
