Very Good. Nice tray depicting a couple of ladies either side of the trade mark, one being aboriginal, probably as a tribute to the original inhabitants of Australia. Flower with scotch thistles to the top and bottom and some clovers as well. A few stains to the front, these may be patches where the plating is missing, as it has a brassy appearance underneath. A little bit of wear. The underside has a fair amount of usage wear, but is quite solid. A great piece of advertising from Sydney. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $100 - 150
