The next items are producing a really nice dinner tray(s)together. Personal I don't know much about for to give information about these two.

Somewhere I found a name vintage for one of them. The center of the dinner tray is decorated with three ornaments, a Minerva head?, and a shell?, between these two figures/symbols is placed a decoration.

Perhaps it's made in France?about 1920 or so? (It's a guess, so only information about the real identity will help). It has no marks but I like the four different decorations from the outside rim till the center. The back of the rim of the tray is in bad condition, a kind of solder is disappeared by time at a lot of places.

I think this kind of tray is printed out of copper, is plated and has ornaments will give a older impression in stead of the time it is produced.

The other tray is made by WMF,EP BRASS
GERMANY 30. The figure 30 stands for the quality of thickness they used for plating it.

There is also a question about W�rttembergische Metalwaren Fabrik this is (what I thought) a German factory? In a English program they gave information it should be a factory from Austria.

There is a lot of silver or plated objects made by them and I see often articles made by them.

I will send the photo's for to give a impression of the cheap things!

hi ! The first tray looks american to me - also because its made of copper - the WMF ( Germany by the way ) is a typical glass tray made about 1920/30 and EP Brass means electro plated brass !
hope i could help a little - greetings, tom
