Hello! My name is Julie, and I’ve inherited some lovely items from my Auntie, who traveled the world extensively in 1950-1980. She lived her working adult life (1952-1992) in New York City, and as VP of Facilites for a major corporation, part of her duties included furnishing corporate suites and offices.

I tell you this because my item is more than likely purchased from the artisan/place-of-origin, although I little else to work with.

I’m thinking about selling this tray, but if it is valuable, I’d keep it for my daughters instead, plain and simple. Any help or advice that you can impart would be so much appreciated!

This little brass salver has no stickers or tags. It’s a very lustrous yellow brass. The hammered handles appear to be brass, and the rivets are hammered copper.

It measures 9-3/4 inches long X 5-3/4 across.
Handles measure 1-3/4 inches X 5/8-inch.
Weighs a solid eight (8) ounces.
Handles are sturdy and intact.

The only identifying hallmarks on the piece are stars hammered into the rivets on the back.

Brass is thin, but very sturdy, with hammer marks clearly seen.
Small imperfections are either patina or inherent to the brass.
There cosmetic marks on bottom from shelf wear.

With gratitude,
Julie

P.S. System is not letting me download my photos, no matter how much I reduce them. Any ideas regarding THIS problem, again, I’m all ears! 🙂
