PLEASE HELP



I have been doing research on an item that came into our shop recently. The shop is Objects Found, a consignment and antique shop in Catonsville, Maryland. The item being researched is a very old metal (tin?) tray with pictures of the first 24 presidents on the surface. The tray contains an error, as it lists McKinley as the 24th president and does not list Cleveland as being President twice. I found the picture of the tray on your website. I have only been unable to locate information on this item at a website called Design Rocket, she is a private owner and is only showing others her pictures, and the Rare & Manuscript Collection at Cornell University.

Can you give me any further information on this item? If you know...how rare is it? Do you know it's approximate value? Is it really circa 1897 even though the tray has the dates of Christmas 1901 and New Year's 1902 on the sides? We are trying to value it for consignment sale and any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. It seems to be quite rare and we are very interested in learning more about it.

Thank you so much,

Hi Denise,

That's a nice tray!! Very Vintage!!!

I would say it's from the turn of the century, but I couldn't find any more information about it than you did.

As far as it's value, I'd only be guessing. I've never seen one for sale but I would guess given it's age around $200-$300 dollars or more. It's all about finding the right buyer.

Good luck selling it!
