Vintage Everlast Forged Aluminum Hammered Tray with Pine Boughs and Cones

This is a beautifully made decorative tray from forged aluminum that was likely hand hammered by Everlast. The edges are fluted and have a hand hammered top edge that shows nice workmanship. The center top is embossed with a pine bough and pine cones. This is very well made with a fully embossed design, evident by the design being raised on the interior surface and indented on the underside. This tray is such a practical size - great for carrying drinks and snacks to the porch or patio, but easier to store due to it's compact size. It displays well and is largely decorative in nature and would be best used as a serving tray for dry snacks, meats and cheese platters and other items that would not require a completely level surface. I think it would be really charming at a fall or winter gathering for laying out the items that could compliment your hot cocoa offerings! It's really quite unique. There are quite a few surface scratches as would be expected for its age and material. The finish is still quite nice however and there has not been any oxidation or dulling of the surface. I believe it was well treated during its time in service! The branding on the back is Everlast Forged Aluminum. Dimensions: 14 1/4" x 9 1/4" 1/4" high
