JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This vintage serving display tray dates back to 1938 and features a winning message from the Philadelphia Country Club belonging to Walter Acuff Jr. With its original and unique design, this piece is perfect for collectors of vintage sports or Philadelphia memorabilia. The tray is a great addition to any collection.

CONDITION:  Acceptable antique / vintage condition given the historical significance and collectibility.  Finish has the look that only time and use can provide - this has been well loved and used often.  The top exhibits a moderate amount of wear and the lower right corner has some greening and plating loss.  I believe there may have been handles on each side  - they have either given way or been intentionally removed.  See last photos.  Please study all photos to self-form an opinion of condition and gain additional item insight that only viewing photos can provide.  A fantastic find in an excellent state of preservation.

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear.  Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned.  Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos.  Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
